Creating OER with Students

Creating OER with Students
Wednesday, March 10, 2021 | 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Student voices need to be central in OER projects, especially considering that they are the final users of these materials. In this session, we will showcase a range of OER that have been co-created with students. We will consider the following questions: Where can students join the publishing process? What conversations around ownership, copyright, licensing need to be had? How can this experience be enriching for students?

Responding to Academic Integrity Concerns: What Can Faculty Do?

Led by presenters from the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI) (https://www.academicintegrity.org/), this workshop will focus on how faculty can handle academic integrity concerns in an educational/formative way, considering several contextual factors. A focus will be on how faculty can respond in this way in an online environment (synchronous or asynchronous).

Resources to Support Remote Teaching and Learning: Using the M.O.S.T. Commons

During this webinar, we will showcase the new resources, features, and initiatives being supported through the M.O.S.T.

This day-long summit will introduce participants to the ins and outs of adaptive courseware.

M.O.S.T. 2021 State Summit

The theme of the 2021 conference is Using OER to Advance Equity and Inclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic and continuing patterns of racialized violence have brought to the forefront inequities in educational access, preparation, and experiences on our campuses. How might the use of open educational resources (OER) advance equity and inclusion at our postsecondary institutions and statewide? 

M.O.S.T. Commons: A Resource to Support the Shift to Remote Teaching

The Coronavirus pandemic continues to cause major disruptions for Maryland’s communities, institutions, faculty, and students. We recognize the challenges of preparing programs and courses for remote delivery and are encouraging faculty and staff to consider the Maryland Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) Commons as a resource for locating openly licensed educational resources to support learning.
