Talk today
• Why are OER “a thing” now?
• Do OER make a difference?
• What is UH doing with OER?
![Page 4: A Faculty Survival Guide to Open Educational Resources](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030401/58ef946b1a28ab237a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHY ARE OER “A THING” NOW?
![Page 5: A Faculty Survival Guide to Open Educational Resources](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030401/58ef946b1a28ab237a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
OER grew out of a combination of
environmental changes
1. Digital landscape
2. Publishing landscape
3. Educational landscape
![Page 6: A Faculty Survival Guide to Open Educational Resources](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030401/58ef946b1a28ab237a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
World Wide Web fosters openness
• GNU General Public Licensing for Free
Software sharing [1989]
• Tim Berners-Lee CERN, WWW [1989]
• Creative Commons licensing [2001]
• Open Access movements [2002]
• Social media, Twitter [2006]
![Page 7: A Faculty Survival Guide to Open Educational Resources](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030401/58ef946b1a28ab237a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Publishing background
• Open Access changing scholarly
publishing

Education landscape
• States and communities struggle to fund K-12 education
• School systems select and pay for textbooks
• Leveraging funds used to pay for commercial publishing products to create OER
![Page 9: A Faculty Survival Guide to Open Educational Resources](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030401/58ef946b1a28ab237a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Higher education
• States and communities struggle to fund public post-secondary education
• Faculty select textbooks, students pay for them
• Students borrow to pay for tuition and textbooks
![Page 10: A Faculty Survival Guide to Open Educational Resources](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030401/58ef946b1a28ab237a8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

and synthesize information to solve new
problems
• Retention & graduation
