“As a student, I came to learn from others. I assumed that my voice was not a part of my education process. I assumed that what I read from my text books was, and is, the definitive word. OER taught me that my perception was incomplete.”Joanne Eller
“OER changed how I view my self as a student. Now, I am more engaged in my education. I feel empowered. Being a part of the process increases my desire to learn.”Joanne Eller

Audience Discussion
Adopting OER in History Class
Brent Riffel, PhDHistory Professor
Developing OER in History Courses

• The Pros and Cons of OER
• Engaging Students with OER
• Identifying OER Texts• Useful Resources• Lessons Learned
• Closing Thoughts/ Looking Ahead
Objectives
• Expanded Access (Students can learn anywhere around the world, around the
clock)
• Scalability (possibility of wide distribution)
• Enhancement of existing class materials (with OER, faculty can reach various
intelligences)
• Cost (if not free, then often substantially reduced)
• Ongoing Improvements (Through constant sharing and collaboration, OER is never static, and it’s getting better all the time!)
OER Pros
OER Cons• Fatigue (It’s hard to sustain OER since faculty
have few incentives to update materials)
• Quality Control (Many resources may be of dubious quality and accuracy)
• Access barriers (Significant roadblocks remain in terms of distributing material that is
culturally relevant and accessible to all types of learners.)
• Technology concerns (OER generally require that students be versed in basic software knowledge. Returning students may be daunted
by the idea of replacing the traditional text with something “high-tech”)
Engaging Students with OER
As instructors,
we’re competing
for our students’
time, so developing
engaging course
material is essential.
This is especially true when
we consider
that students
often multitask
when working on class
material.
In terms of identifying valuable OER texts, the same rules apply as when selecting a
traditional set of readings:
• Cost• Course Alignment
• Reading Level• Is the material engaging, value-added
material?
One more thought . . . It’s been useful to think of a text as not only a book, but also a
narrative that can be delivered in virtually any medium
Identifying OER Texts
This OER text served as the template from which I’ve developed readings for my courses. I thought this would be plug-and-play. A year later, I’m still tinkering with this text to fit my students’ reading comprehension levels.
History Instructors have
a lot of options for open source
primary documents that
can often be woven into the
narrative you’re building from
secondary material.
Lessons Learned •The Wealth of OER is daunting - collaboration is key to making sense of it all (reaching out to colleagues was highly beneficial)
•Process is often as important than Product (Developing OER is an ongoing effort)
•Texts aren’t the core of the course. Without realizing it, I was already mixing and matching for years to adapt to student needs
Another early lesson learned . . . a flipped classroom that assigns lengthy open source
videos isn’t likely to be very engaging.
Note the length
Lots of good material here, but I consider
this to be an a la carte menu, as
almost all OER has to be tailored
to fit your course. The
lesson learned here was that
one size does not fit all.
YouTube is mostly useless for my video
needs, primarily because of
captioning issues and lack of content
quality.
Video sites like IntelecomOnline
require a license, but offer high-
resolution material at a reasonable
price.
Keeping current is key. . . There is a mountain of amazing new podcast material available every week, usually via iTunes, and students can access them via their mobile phones.
Note the length, however!
Lecture capture has come a long way, including several free options that allow for a variety of formatting options. This is where my “flipping” and online instruction efforts are headed.
This one is free, but
clunky. My college has
excellent, free lecture capture
Another lesson learned : Look for thelogo!
It’s common knowledge for most of us by now, but still worth repeating: Because OER are remixed and reused, shared and re-shared, standard Fair Use protections don’t apply.
One more lesson: I’m not a technophobe, but I’m not
Steve Jobs either. Asking for technical support almost always yields dividends.
Closing Ahead/ Looking AClosing Thoughts/ Looking Ahead
Those of us who see the value of OER might consider evangelizing to our peers.
