Session Abstract
In this presentation, I’ll literally show a play-by-play of how I added in elements of IDEA principles/theories to my own OER textbooks. My own OER are compiled of my students’ content, my own content, and other OER.
Objectives of the Session
- Participants will be able to identify actual IDEA elements in OER.
- Participants will be able to change their OER to include IDEA elements.
Full Description of the Session
Like many educators, I latched onto the idea of OER because of the freedom and flexibility it would give me to cover what I wanted to cover in my courses and not teach to an expensive textbook by a publishing company that would change out content every other year. But what I didn’t realize was the social justice aspect of OER.
Most educators know the IDEA principles when they see them (audio, captions, non-white authors), but how do we take any OER we’re working on, or any OER we find in a random repository, and add it in? Of course we accept the IDEA principles and theories, BUT now what does that theory look like IN ACTION? What are the actual steps and tools? In this presentation, I’ll literally show a play-by-play of how I added in elements of IDEA principles/theories to my own OER textbooks. My own OER are compiled of my students’ content, my own content, and other OER.
