Interested in being a part of an initiative focused on increasing faculty instructional agency, while also increasing student equity and access? Thanks in part to a grant received through the Maryland Open-Source Textbook (MOST) initiative, we are now positioned to examine the current usage and related student outcomes associated with Open Educational Resources and Open Pedagogy (OER/OP) at SU. In doing so, one of our first goals is to create a community of engagement made up of faculty with a track record of commitment to OER and/or OP, along with other relevant stakeholders (student focus groups; SU Libraries; ID&D; University Analysis, Reporting and Assessment; and the SU Bookstore). This group will examine the current usage of OER and OP at SU and determine the necessary resources/training to best support the expansion moving forward. This group will also be central as we design professional development opportunities such as the proposed yearly “Open Pedagogy Across the Curriculum” workshop series and the proposed Open Pedagogy Summit.
What would the expectations be?
Participation in 10 meetings (held between September 2022-June 2023)
What would a participant receive?
- A $750 stipend for attending the 10 meetings
- An (optional) opportunity to participate in the Lumen Circles Fellowship focused on Effective Teaching Using OER (limited to instructors using OER this fall semester).
Interested in applying to be a part of this initiative? Please apply online by Tuesday, September 20. |
