Developing Inclusive OER Online
This is the third introductory workshop 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 third workshop will cover a range of accessibility and inclusivity topics including making your OER materials accessible, OER design considerations, revising OER for your student populations, and ways to include students in OER creation including open pedagogy.
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).
