OER from scratch One persons trash is another

OER from scratch One person’s trash is another person’s treasure

What is OER? Dr. Guadalupe A. Cruikshank

Open Educational Resources �Any kind of teaching materials – textbooks, syllabi, lesson plans, videos, readings, exams �OER Facts

Empower Faculty �The purpose of OER is to empower faculty as creative professionals by giving them the ability to adapt and customize learning materials to meet course learning outcomes plus the needs of their students without breaking copyright laws.

Design, Development and Implementation Dr. Carolina Ibáñez-Murphy

IDEA �Cost of books for students COUP (cost, outcomes, use and perception) �Choice of a bad textbook �Lack of consensus among other colleagues �Looked for materials in internet �Very few OER resources in Spanish at the time �Materials found were lacking visual cues �Wanted a mixed materials for students, especially visual learners �Decided we had to start from scratch

From scratch • List of grammar topics for Spa 101 and Spa 102 • For first chapter: Greetings • Difference tú and usted • Verb Ser • Hay to express existence • Numbers 0 -30 • Question words • Alphabet

Continuation: • Decided to create 3 files per chapter: grammar, exercises and culture. • Had a short frame to create material

Example in Chapter 5 Reflexive Verb: Lavarse Reflexive Verb exercise � 10 -Esta es mi rutina diaria, ¿Cuál es la tuya? � Mi esposo_______(despertarse) a las 4 de la mañana para sacar a los perros al jardín. Luego vuelve al dormitorio y_________(acostarse) nuevamente hasta las 8 de la mañana. A las 8: 30 am________(levantarse) y prepara el café y da de comer a los perros. Después va al baño donde_______(sacarse) la ropa y_______(ducharse). Más tarde_________(secarse) y_________(ponerse) ropa limpia. � Mientras tanto yo_________(bañarse), ________(secarse) y_____(ponerse) la ropa. Inmediatamente_______(despertar) a mi hijo, lo_____(bañar) y lo_______(vestir) para el colegio. Todos desyunamos juntos.

Cultural file: � 20 - Aztecs (4: 21 English) �https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=B 8 c. O 1 p. AHVok � 1 - What did they call themselves? � 2 - Where was the city located? � 3 - What was the name of the original culture? � 4 - The city was formed on top of what? � � 22 - Day of the Dead (2: 06 Spanish with English subtitles) �https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=_s. Sawp. U 81 c. I � 1 - When this type of celebration started? � 2 - Who or what do Mexicans honor on this day? � 3 - How do they honor the people that have passed away?

Google documents and Insert creative commons clipart �Found that if we use insert from web creative commons clipart, 90% of the graphics are CCO. �The 10% that is not, will not be allowed to be inserted into the document. �From the 90% that is CCO, in reality 1% will need especial attribute for licensing. �Thought it was good until actually talked to Creative Commons at a Conference this past October.

Development • Wanted to make sure all chapters had graphics • We advanced rapidly from May 15 th 2018 to August 31 2018 and we created 9 chapters • Chapters included, reading, writing and speaking exercises. Only Audio was included in exams. • Set up materials in Brightspace and Mypima • At the beginning 2 files, it was easier to just focus on one thing at a time, either grammar or exercises • The idea was always to unite both files • Has very strong vocabulary with pictures • Created 9 exams also posted in D 2 L

Important information �Google Doc was hard to work. Very dangerous �Was also convenient for 4 of us to get in and out of the same document while remote �After losing materials, we decided only person to be the person working on the master �Problems were: errors, auto correction, lack of examples on exercises, �Exam sections did not open in brightspace �Problems of accessibility ADR

Implementation: 6 classes, 3 Spa 101 and 3 Spa 102 �Fall 2018 �Explained to students that it was a pilot program: mistakes errors �SPA 101: Preliminary, 1, 2, 3, 4 �SPA 102: 5, 6, 7, 8

Students received: �Packages printed by Pima Community College for each chapter. �Posted the 3 files within MYPIMA: Grammar � Exercises � Culture �Access to exams in Brightspace �Filled a survey and the responses were extremely positive. �They felt happy to be in class and participate in the program.

Student’s perception of OER Very satisfied with materials Liked combination of graphics and words Did not like 2 separate files to study from Everyone felt included Students felt that everyone had an equitable education OER was innovative In the 102 level, students were able to be co-creators of stories in preterite and imperfect

An example of a class story �Billy Joel �Nacimiento a 12 años de edad: �Yo nací el 31 de octubre de 1932. Yo nací en Nueva York. Yo hablaba chino. Yo tocaba guitarra. Yo tuve dos hermanos. Cuando tenia 8 años jugaba baloncesto en el barrio de Nueva York. Yo jugaba con mis amigos cerca de la Estatua de la Libertad. Mi comida favorita era huevo. Cuando yo tenía 12 años yo me mudé a la ciudad china. En la ciudad china, montaba mi bicicleta con mis dos hermanos. Mis hermanos se murieron durante mi quinceañera. Tomaron veneno de ratas. Ellos creían que el veneno era absynth. Nadie tenía pantalones. Las personas de la fiesta no tenían pantalones porque El zorro Swiper lo robó. El nombre de mi madre era Rosa.

What we learned We are transforming our institution, one class at a time We are helping many students, the affect is huge We saved in 6 classes $34, 800, if we add the rest of the classes it would be even more. As faculty members, we feel renewed, enthusiastic, creative, not stagnant We updated the course materials to match our city, common places, people we know. Everything takes place in Tucson. Students had fun while creating stories.

What we learned: �There is no difference between Textbook vs. OER, in terms of learning. �Students have been extremely appreciative of our efforts �We did not lose as many students as we usually do �Those that need 2 semesters are continuing on

Future of OER �Pedagogy will change, will be progressive and innovative �Newer ideas, new platforms, new forms of delivery will be used �Exams on phone or survey type
