I think that this one may be particularly useful for people who have no context for OER: https://tinyurl.com/MOsOERfundamentals

Comment on Why have students answer questions when they can write them? by Donna Gordon

This is a great idea and a great way to build resources for future use.
Reflecting on content can be challenging, so asking students to create questions is great way to make connections from previous with ongoing learning processes and materials.

I teach English, and reflective writing is my way of providing revision opportunities without building that expectation into the course ahead of the reflective experience. From the point of reflection, students become more active in their learning because they are visibly aware of connections they helped create within the content of the course and the context of their learning processes.

I have been using a similar approach in my lecture classes, particularly when reviewing for tests. I ask students what topics they feel are important and once we have established several viable topics, I ask we write the questions together. Once we have arrived at a sufficient number of questions for a viable exam, we record them and post them on Blackboard for study purposes.
When the exam is due, I present a select number of these questions from the list. Students can then answer them as essays.
I have had excellent results with this.

Comment on 5Rs for Open Pedagogy by #OER and #ARCL2019: An Look at Open at the ACRL 2019 Biennial Conference - OER and Beyond

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 19:31:58 +0000

[…] One of the most popular #OER and Open Access session at ACRL was Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani’s invited keynote titled Beyond Free: A Social Justice Vision for Open Education. You can access Dr. Jhangiani’s presentation materials here. Dr. Jhangiani talked about how crippling student loan debt can be and how textbooks play a huge impact on that. Further, he explained that the OER movement has changed its vision to the freedoms that come from open education practices. “As natural leaders of campus OER initiatives, academic librarians should recognize that adopting digital technologies (even those branded as “inclusive”) solve some access issues while masking and exacerbating others, that accessibility is not a retrofit to access, that open is not the opposite of private, and that not everything could (or even should) be open.” (Jhangiani, 2019). During his presentation Dr. Jhangiani mentioned a blog post he had recently written that looked into the 5 Rs for Open Pedagogy; you can access the blog post here. […]

I like this because it provides a much-needed ethical framework that is so obviously lacking in the “5R”s which reduces education to transactions and things.
