March 7 Faculty-led Workshop: Faculty and Student Panel on Open Educational Resources

Today, March 7, 2-3 p.m. in Lighty 405 or view via online streaming

Hear from faculty members and students who have used open educational resources (OERs) in their courses. OERs are educational materials that are freely available and openly licensed for reuse by other students, instructors, and the general public. OERs are being seen as a one potential solution for the sharp rise in the cost for educational materials—and as a means of engaging students more deeply in their courses.

OER Panelists:

  • Kate Watts, English, member of WSU President’s Teaching Academy
  • Myiah Hutchens, Murrow College of Communication
  • Carrie Cuttler, Psychology
  • Colleen McMahon, ASWSU, Director of University Affairs

Watts, Hutchens, and Cuttler all participated in the Affordable Learning Project in 2016-2017—an effort funded by a Student Success Seed Grant to revise courses to feature zero- to low-cost materials.
