Slide Deck
My OER Goals & Purpose: What have you discovered during this OER Series and what are you planning to accomplish next? I have discovered "remix" and believe it will be a wonderful way to show faculty how to find mulitple sources and ideas for thier classes.
My Audience: Who are you designing this OER item for and what are their learning needs and preferences? I am designing it for myslef mostly. As a librarian I will most likely not be creating OER, but I will be reviewing resources and suggesting them to faculty. Knowing what is required and how to do it will better help me serve fauclty members.
My Team: Who else might support your OER item and what are their roles and responsibilities? TELS - They are a wonderful department at YC that help faculty in creating courses. They are knowldgeable about CANVAS, tech stuff, and instructional design.
Existing Resources: What existing resources can you utilize for your OER item? You can curate these resources in our Group Folders. Other resources describing best practices for OER librarians and academic research lesson plans.
New Resources: What new resources will you need for your OER item's next steps? Faculty outlines, objectives, and course outcomes to help in finiding OER materials for thier courses.
Supports Needed: What additional supports do you need to complete your OER item? Do you need to gather more research and data to inform the design of your OER item? None at this time
Our Timeline: What deadlines do you have for your OER item deliverables? Summer - to be prepared and ready to present to new faculty

Reflection
Please reflect and share any observations and insights you noticed as a result of this OER Item, such as changes in your own practice, impact on colleagues or student engagement and impact.
In looking for OER material I have realized there is a lot of material that is out here and the quality of the material is quite high. I think it can be overwhelming at times and that the best way for me to support our faculty is to find ways to use hubs to put possible material resources in a smaller space that will make thier jobs a little more fluid.
I also came to the conculsion that building a relationship with the different schools within the college are extremely important and while our college needs a OER vision statement, what OER looks like might be very different in one school vs. another. Even within a school the way OER is set up and published may look different between classes (ie - Classic Literature vs. Modern Literature). I have also realized that we as a library have an important role in matintaining a collection that supports OER classes to ensure that extra costs and fees for students remain low.
