Finding and Evaluating High Quality OER Online
This is the second of three introductory workshops on OER developed for New Mexico post-secondary educators who are interested in using open educational resources (OER) in their courses. The New Mexico Open Educational Resources Consortium, or the NMOER Consortium, is holding these workshops this fall to help NM educators find free, open, high-quality resources to use in their classes. This second workshop will cover evaluation criteria for OER, planning for an OER project, and how to estimate the scope of converting a course to OER, whether you are adopting, adapting, or creating completely new resources. We will also do a Creative Commons license deep dive.
You’ve likely heard about OER and how it can save students money. But did you also know that OER can increase student engagement and retention? The 2022 Florida Student Survey found that 53% of the 13,000 students they surveyed did not purchase a required textbook for a course due to its cost. Because of textbook costs, forty-three percent of students in the survey took fewer courses, and twenty-four percent of students surveyed reported dropping out of a course (Florida Virtual Campus 2022).
