Thank you @may24c-cohort for your participation in today’s session. Remember, if you missed, the video will be posted in our LOUIS document. Please find here our brief recap and all resources related to the session for your reference:
The creation of content is obviously the most important stage in the process. The work you do at this early point can make the next phases of editing, review, and formatting much easier. As OER content creators or contributors, your project teams can change the status quo in education.
With your student audience at the core of your efforts, you can develop both OER and specific pedagogical methods that in synthesis will work to support accessible and inclusive learning. Well-structured content not only helps your students identify what matters to the discipline and specific courses, but also what matters to them. Thus we looked closely how specific elements in textbooks/ OER can work to represent and support your diverse learners on the book and chapter levels.
Homework Activity
Thinking through the structure of your OER will take some time and dedication, but we hope that the homework activity will guide your team’s discussion around the structure and parts in your resource [see handout linked above]. It will help you redefine the alignment of your content with the envisioned outcomes for your project, so you can determine the parts that will further enrich your OER and make it stand out within your discipline. Feel free to browse the examples shared in your handout for inspiration as well.
As a team, please submit a draft of your handout to the OER Chapter Structure Submission (May 2024C Cohort) forum.
As an individual, please respond to this prompt with your update to the checklist:
My team has reflected on and refined the learning objectives for our OER to align them with the content we want to adapt and/ or create.
My team has drafted an outline of our OER with a table of contents.
As a team, we have discussed the chapter structure of our OER with regards to modularity, pedagogical devices and assessment elements.
As a team, we have decided what content needs to be produced, adapted, remixed, or researched (text, images, videos, interactive elements, case studies, etc.)
Next week, we will dig a bit deeper into the editing process and how you can set up an effective workflow and smooth logistics that includes checklists, tracking sheets, and an author guide to orientate everybody on your team.
I will be out of the country for the next 2 weeks but will catch up when I get back.

We are working on SLOs. We have collected examples from other groups and schools teaching food safety and will condense and consolidate all the material soon* My team has reflected on and refined the learning objectives for our OER to align them with the content we want to adapt and/ or create.
We have an outline drafted that we all agree on.* My team has drafted an outline of our OER with a table of contents.
The team will work on this in our next team meeting.* We have discussed the chapter structure of our OER in terms of modularity, pedagogical devices, and assessment elements.
We have a folder of resources to work from* As a team, we have decided what content needs to be produced, adapted, remixed, or researched (text, images, videos, interactive elements, case studies, etc.)
We have established a pool of learning objectives. We will finalize a a list of course objectives. We have created our table of contents (submitted within the group response for this session). Our next step will be to associate our learning objectives with the book chapters. This will allow us to highlight the learning objective(s)in the chapter material/discussions. We have also discussed pedagogical devices and assessment formats.
We have discussed chapter structure. We will be deciding what that will include at a later date. We all agree that the book chapter structure should be consistent from one chapter to another. We will be using quite a bit of the ‘Plan OER Structure’ document inclusions.
Our chapters will be modular to facilitate the use of our resource by outside entities. This will not be difficult as the material subject matter is generally compartmentalized for the purposes of presentation and discussion;
Our material , at this point in the process, will be a combination of produced, and remixed/adapted, We have discussed the use of images, videos, case studies, and interactive elements… We will also be using chapter glossaries and probably a general glossary at the end of the book. Bibliography information will be initially handled at the end of each chapter with a final collective bibliography at the end of the book. To maintain the modularity of the chapters, we felt both glossary and bibliography should be included along with multimedia presentations… This will truly make each chapter a complete module.
Our team (Math for Elementary Teachers) has refined our overarching learning objectives and created an outline for our text. We have decided to adapt/remix most of our material and have discussed the overall chapter structure. For example, we will start each chapter with an unfinished classroom scenario to motivate the material for the chapter. We will then end the chapter with the same scenario so that students can reflect on how they have grown and how the content they have learned will help in their future career.
We completed much of this task. The chapters were broken down in session 6 document. We decided on preliminary chapter structure during this section and we meet on Tuesday to finalize.
