Session Abstract
This session will cover the experience of collaboratively creating and remixing Open Educational Resources to develop a textbook for English Composition courses at a community college. Back in 2015, Central New Mexico Community College started an OER initiative, and during its beginning stages, I applied to create materials for my English department. Working with a colleague, I developed a spreadsheet system for collaboratively vetting OER resources and structuring a textbook for two English composition courses. We used material from seven different OERs to create one cohesive text for our English 1110 and English 1120 courses.
This will be a hands-on, skills-based presentation from the angle of a writer. I will discuss and share the clear and simple collaborative creation process that we developed using Google Sheets and Google docs. I will also discuss how we were able to combine the work into one document and acknowledge the licenses of each individual text. Here is the URL for the textbook: https://mytext.cnm.edu/course/introduction-to-college-writing-at-cnm/
