Handy Remix of OER Item Sharing
Overview
The GEN 101 Companion Guide will be used to support GEN 101 faculty and students. Students will be able to reference the textbook after they finish GEN 101 which is not the case with the current textbook.
Project Planning
My OER Goals & Purpose: To create ancillary materials for GEN 101 that will support student learning and success.
My Audience: GEN 101 students and GEN 101 Faculty. Students who have completed GEN 101.
My Team: GEN 101 Team
Existing Resources: We had a grant funded GEN 101 OER pilot project last year and created many ancillary materials that were well received by faculty and students. We were the first team to create these materials. We planned to remix or create a textbook, but our school is not a ZTC school, so we were unable to do that. However, we are requesting more open-access materials be included in the next textbook version.
New Resources: College Success Concise - Open Textbook Library, and I would also like to create more ancillary materials focused on mental health and supporting formerly incarcerated students.
Supports Needed: This concise book models the format of our course, so the plan is to remix it so that our students can have a resource after they complete the course.
Our Timeline: GEN 101 will get a new textbook next year. My team has agreed to write the case studies (we will license them), and I would like to have this concise text to be finished as a companion guide for students to use after they finish the GEN 101 course.
