Since its inception, the OERI has been providing OER-related professional development opportunities across the state and developing resources to support OER exploration, advocacy, institutionalization, and development. In addition, through five OER-development funding cycles, the OERI has developed a comprehensive process for facilitating OER development that consists of the following components: ASCCC OERI OER Development Support Options printable flyer.
- Project management throughout resource development
- Clarify deliverables (e.g., how many chapters a book will consist of with titles/topics and approximate pages, what type and how many questions a test bank will consist of)
- Establish timelines and deadlines
- Develop templates (e.g., chapter structure – objectives, format, types of headings, etc. – so the look and feel has consistency)
- Provide OER basics and accessibility training (self-paced courses with office hours to support). Read about and access the OERI’s self-paced courses.
- Provide platform training – LibreTexts, H5P, MyOpenMath, etc. LibreTexts is a platform for OER development, curation, re-mixing, and collaboration. In addition, available openly-licensed systems for creating assessments and interactive content (like H5P and MyOpenMath) are available within LibreTexts.
- Recruit additional participants (as might be needed if specific expertise is missing or collaboration is wanted)
- Accessibility review (and Universal Design for Learning, if desired)
- Attribution review
- Content review (peer review)
- Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) review
