Resources from ASCCC Plenary, November 2021.

To support faculty as they implement a culturally responsive and anti-racist pedagogy, the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges Open Educational Resources Initiative (ASCCC OERI), in response to Resolution 09.05 adopted in Spring 2021 (Developing an Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Curriculum Audit Process), has been tasked with the development of:

  • a process and review framework to evaluate existing open educational resources to ensure that ASCCC OERI-supported open educational resources are inclusive, diverse, equitable, and anti-racist (IDEA).
  • a curriculum audit process and review framework to assess instructional materials for equity, inclusiveness, diversity, and anti- racism and make the process and framework available for local consideration, modification, and implementation.

Current Version of the ASCCC OERI IDEA Framework

IDEA Framework Canvas Page

The purpose of the IDEA Framework Canvas page is to serve as a resource for faculty who are interested in or using the IDEA Framework to assess open educational resources.

Accessibility

The IDEA Framework does not explicitly address accessibility as accessibility is a required component of all of the OERI’s work. In addition, the OERI promotes the incorporation of Universal Design for Learning principles as a matter of practice. This will be incorporated into the next iteration of the framework. In addition, we will take steps to ensure that all forms of diversity are referenced, as appropriate, throughout the document.
