Building an Open Education Research Community
Tuesday, March 5, 12pm PT/3pm ET
Join us for a 20-minute webinar hosted by members of the CCCOER Research & Impact Committee for an introduction to the committee’s history and emerging CCCOER discussions and resources around open educational research and impact. We’ll explore how the committee can seed cross-institutional collaboration and be a place for new research connections. Participants will be invited to share their perspectives on Open Education (OE) research and contribute to ongoing discussions about the impact of open education on institutions and the students they serve. Following the webinar, we’ll invite participants to share their favorite OE research on OEG Connect.
Updates on the U.S. Department of Education’s Negotiated Rulemaking for Automatic Billing
Wednesday, March 6, 12pm PT/3pm ET
The U.S. Department of Education is considering the elimination of a provision that allows books and supplies to be charged as part of tuition and fees as a part of the negotiated rulemaking process. This would require higher education institutions to get student authorization for course material charges, which would effectively make “Inclusive Access” and automatic textbook billing programs “opt-in” for students. Presenters will discuss the implications of this proposal and shed light on its potential impact on students, institutions, and open educational resources. Please bring your thoughts and questions!
Open for Antiracism: Leveraging Open Education to Support Antiracism in the Classroom
Friday, March 8, 2:30pm PT/ 5:30pm ET
In this 45-minute panel discussion, we address the question: “How can the open education field engage effectively with antiracist pedagogy?” The Open for Antiracism Program (OFAR) provides an example. OFAR supports US community college faculty to transform their classrooms to be antiracist through the affordances of OER and open pedagogy. Now in its fourth year, OFAR has supported 150 instructors from 40 institutions to learn to adapt and author OER, integrating antiracist activities and perspectives and co-creating materials with their students.
