This session introduces a comprehensive Learning Community (LC) focused on leveraging Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Pedagogy (OP) to address the critical issue of educational equity. The LC focuses a spotlight on affordability, representational diversity, inclusion, and the cultivation of a sense of belonging within the educational landscape. Targeting various stakeholders across campus, including faculty, instructional designers, and librarians, we’ll discuss how the LC tailored its design to accommodate diverse roles and interests. In addition, we’ll examine how the community placed emphasis on active, participant-centered learning and explored innovative approaches to designing communities that foster collaboration. The LC’s content and structure catered to beginners with pre-readings presented in a user-friendly Pressbook that will be shared with attendees. We’ll discuss how sessions were formatted to include presentations, hands-on activities, and reflection, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging learning experience for participants. Sample discussion questions will be used as a means to engage the conference audience. We’ll also highlight participants’ enhanced proficiency in finding, creating, and evaluating OER, and the acquisition of tools to center Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) principles in OER/OP. This presentation will also highlight the provision of ongoing resources for support and engagement, creating a sustainable framework for participants based on feedback. The presentation will conclude by delineating the next steps while envisioning the long-term impact of the LC on educational equity. Participation through Zoom chat questions and Q&A will be encouraged. Attendees of various levels with an interest in community building are encouraged to attend.
