Session Abstract
This session focuses on developing a sustainable OER project at the departmental level. By scaling up to a departmental initiative, faculty embrace core benefits of OER (collaboratively sharing, adapting, adopting, and creating), while maximizing the impact on student learning and success in their program. Join three faculty from the Phoenix College Dental and Allied Health Department to discuss how they leveraged individual OER projects into a collaborative effort to infuse their curriculum and program with OER and open pedagogy. During the session, participants will identify challenges, discuss potential solutions, and develop strategies for implementing OER engagement across their program or department. Each presenter will share their OER projects while discussing how it fits within the departmental scope by supporting curriculum, addressing the needs of students, and creating opportunities beyond the typical text or assignment. The session will provide an open dialogue so that participants can share ideas and generate a plan to grow OER within their respective departments.
