OER and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
Tuesday, October 26, 2021 | 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

This fall, the Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation will host a faculty showcase, Silver Linings: Lessons Learned from Teaching during the Pandemic. Faculty, individually and with colleagues, will share challenges, triumphs, lessons learned, and new approaches for supporting quality teaching and learning. Sessions will explore novel instructional approaches, active learning pedagogies, student engagement practices, assessment techniques, communication strategies, and faculty-staff and faculty-student partnerships.

Interactive Textbooks with H5P
Thursday, April 22, 2021 | 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
With the shift to digital learning in online classrooms, we are reminded about the potential of OER to better engage with our students. This session will introduce H5P, a free tool that lets you create interactive content to embed in your textbooks. We'll look at the range of content types in H5P, see examples from published textbooks, and highlight other tools you can use to make dynamic OER.

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?

OER and Accessibility
Monday, February 8, 2021 | 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.

The 6th Annual ICAI Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference

Please join us on Wednesday, September 30 from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. for an overview of Ally, Blackboard’s accessibility software solution that provides full, out of the box integration with Blackboard Learn, Instructure Canvas, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle.

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).

During this webinar, we will showcase the new resources, features, and initiatives being supported through the M.O.S.T. Commons; discuss how it can help institutions and faculty find high-quality digital materials; and highlight the ways the M.O.S.T. team can support your efforts to provide and share quality open-licensed resources.
