Does Your Talk MatchYour Walk?

Setting the Example for OER DoubtersMark Kelland and Kari Richards,

Lansing Community College

My entry into the world of OERs

The textbook contract… Writing the book… The big publishing industry… Small publishing companies… Self-publishing… Caring about my students… OER…

Challenges to making an OER available My own limitations… Working with OpenStax CNX… Being introduced to other platforms… Simpler options?...

What I’m up to now…literally…right now! I am on sabbatical! Writing an OER for positive psychology I am keeping it simple

Current and future OER activities in the psychology program at LCC My personality OER textbook on OpenStax We adopted the OpenStax psychology textbook program-wide Lumen Learning lifespan developmental psychology course Social psychology OER at the Open Textbook Library Abnormal psychology OER? Z-degree

Working with my colleagues who are new to OERs A philosophical perspective on OERs Cost or Quality? Full-time vs. Part-time Different academic areas

Some thoughts…

Full-time or Part-time faculty? Faculty driven or driven by someone else? Is it about money or quality? Supported and/or expected?
