 So hello. Welcome to the OER minute. I'm Dr. Clarissa West White. I'm serving as a PI for the Tennessee State HBCU Affordable Solutions Grant. Figured I need to put that in one of these recordings. I'm going to hide the controls and then I'll get started. So the first of four OERs that I will share today is Project Cora and Cora is a community of online research assignments, and it is what it says it is it's pretty straightforward. So they provide open access resource faculty and librarians to pre established research assignments so that you don't have to spend a lot of time because we do we do know that assignment creation and formation can take so much planning and so much time out of teaching just to create the assignment. So this way you're able to kind of focus on the goals and objectives of what you want students to be able to do at the completion of the assignment than the formation and creation of the assignment. And here all you have to do of course is just kind of tweak it to fit your particular need. It matches. So if you want to you can just start here with latest assignments, we see critical reading lesson plan, lower division sociology critical reading pre source. Some more by the source, then they have algorithms and attention economy. So that's what what's your appetite you can just click on assignments. And here you can see the assignments for yourself, you can search by information literacy concepts. So this is why I also created with librarians in mind, so that if we're looking for a particular framework or particular information literacy concept or item, we can just kind of come here, or any discipline so we can see accounting anthropology archaeology classics biology business dance economics, education environmental studies ethics, geology film history health. Because I usually start with religion so today I just kind of maybe focus on health. Here ability level. So as faculty high school undergraduate or graduate masters or doctoral and individual or group so it's just an individual assignment per person kind of assignment or it's just a group research assignment or activity. So if I want the ability to be graduate. And I wanted to be individual and health, you know, hopefully we find something. And here we see something, not sure's and not in English. So here's one that looks at Zotero. If you are teaching students about Zotero. He's enough. Here's emphatic design and occupational therapies are set up. So here is your summary from Northern Arizona University insight into her development of an avatar based method for promoting empathy in classrooms and for allowing their use in other learning spaces, including clinical settings. So if that sounds interesting you would click on read more. And you get the learning objectives. Here's your our health. Here's a level suggested citation. And here's a short description. And here's the relevant link. So I can link this click on this link. And here is the lesson design. So I can present. You know so you can edit. And then you can go ahead and present this gaps. So gives you, and then there are examples of an infographic here are some communities design tools. So the object of this lesson is for students to learn about emphatic, empathic, empathic. Sorry, because I'm just doing something with this word design and how they can leverage empathic design thinking to promote health information literacy the assignment is designed for occupational therapy but is accessible is applicable across allied health programs as well as health policy and consumer for the back half of the lessons students working groups to apply design thinking for clients and patients. So we will then return to class to learn how to create literacy driven deliverables for those players so they are creating an infographic for a particular population within healthcare. So, you know, it provides the slideshow for you that you can edit, and you can adapt the assignment. You just need to create a account, but you can adapt it. And then add new comment if you had anything you want to say about it. But anyway, so you can kind of see how you can go through and find assignments that you can use in your course. Here's some blogs and actually, it won the Merlot ICT Literacy Classics Award, and then they have a teaching toolkit. They say I say, oh, I've read this. Yes, a writing handbook, 50 ways to leave your lectern. So this provides some professional development, some suggestions. And so the teaching toolkit seems interesting as well so you can look per discipline. So again if we go to health. You can look at the resource site where there's an assessment, a citation tool, classroom activity, an info lit tutorial syllabus, a tip, pedagogy learning theory, or a subject or research guide. You know if it's an assessment for health, you can click search. And there weren't any. So let's see if there's a classroom activity, we did see one so here are some classroom activities. Research guide maybe looking for a syllabus. So here are a couple places to look. And that is, unfortunately I've been getting that quite a bit today with some of the links. And so I don't know if it's our firewall that we have that's preventing access to some of these places or if these are just broken links that someone needs to make them aware of. But that's Cora. So I think it's pretty straightforward. Again, it's a place for you to find assignments research assignments based on your discipline. So it's something that you don't have to start from scratch. The next one is academic earth. And it tells you here that they built the first collection of free online college courses from the world's top universities. So here, you can look down and see some of their featured online programs. And you can find online courses so this is similar to course Sarah. So if you want to learn how to do something, you can come here I know a lot of people go to YouTube. But if you wanted something more professionally driven, you know, vetted, you may want to come here it's probably the equivalent of like Ted talk for courses. So you can look by subject. So we can click view all subjects. So that we see it's not too bad they also have courses for test prep. Which may be helpful for students like the LSAT the GMAT, the MCAT, then we have the breakdown of the sciences, the medicine and healthcare. So like disease and epidemiology, if I click there. These are free online lectures and courses. And so you can probably figure out how you can use them in your course. We also provide journals are here trade magazines, because some students, like we have that feature in the library. So if I go to the library, you know, let me make sure this is recording. Yes. I was about to cry life. So if I come to the library we do have the journal search here the journals here. And then we have within the search databases, we have a to Z, or a cat journal finder. But students generally don't know the name of journals to look for. It's like they don't know the name of databases to look for right. So this site may be a place to show them, you know, even if you link to it so that that they know that within the disease and epidemiology that these are titles of journals and trade magazines, but they can access that here, and then they can get more information about grants and scholarships, especially scholarships $10,000 here. Grants may be helpful for departments. So maybe a place that you go to or start to go to to get that kind of information and also about internships. And then student and professional organizations. So, like it had health care, let me sit back and migrate back. I had health care administration. There are 24 courses. So you know one way to use this of courses to you can embed part of this course into your course, especially if it includes slides and presentations. There's corporate finance for healthcare administrators. Again, it's 24 courses so you can kind of work through them. Global health family planning, comparative health policy change in the face of American healthcare but I'm going to click on this one. And so you get to see these are the recordings. This one is 34 minutes. This is an hour. This is 43 minutes. And here he's talking about lease financing divided policy capital structure debt. And so you could take one of these lessons and embed it into your course. The course here, which is a little different so it takes us to the course, and it actually takes us back to the MIT open course, where which was one of the previous sites. I've highlighted. So they kind of all do the same thing that you're doing, you're going to build maybe your own textbook or you're going to build your course site and it will, you know students will click on multiple links to access different types of these sites for your, you know, according to your course outline. So they're doing the same thing to. And so here is this course, their exams there's a syllabus course description. Some of these are more complete than others. There's midterm and finals, their lecture notes with the PDF attached. And they did it all at once. And so that's his terrorism response. So you get the idea. But since this was healthcare, you know just to show that, you know, journals and trade magazines grants and scholarships, you know $5,000 for graduate students, graduate students, you don't have enough for your students to know about because so many, you know, you know, often, many of these scholarships go unruly, unawarded, because they don't have anyone to apply for them. And then scholarships, you know, Yale UNC Methodist Hospital gives deadline or various but it's a link so they can care, you know, follow the link or you can even show them this, you know, in class. They have a student organizations and the professional organizations related to healthcare. In addition to the 24 courses that you can go in and see if there are things you can pull out to embed or accentuate your courses. So this is the academic earth, and the just so the courses are from, you know, they want to make sure you understand the quality of these courses, they are from Berkeley School of Music Columbia Cornell Dartmouth Harvard MIT NYU Princeton Stanford George Washington University of Chicago Yale Wesley University of Oxford Notre Dame Michigan Houston, California of San Diego LA Irvine Berkeley. So you get the idea that playlists that video videos as well. Wonderful. And they can get, you know, online degrees and that amazing. And the playlists are, you know, curated by academic earth. So like first day of freshman year, there's a playlist that they've already put together of things intro to biology intro to psychology introduction to computer programming. And you may see how that can be something that you can do on your Merlot page is create your own playlist because basically they just put everything together under that one link so they have videos. You do that with a page in Merlot where you just have the videos there. And that's your kind of curated playlist for students. Third place of our for this one is the Community College Consortium for OER. And you can tell from, you know, the first pages pieces that we probably, excuse me may have seen elsewhere, or maybe not. This one is open Connecticut. It was developed to support the adoption and creation of OER and the implementation of open practices throughout the Connecticut State colleges and universities system of 17 campus. So they just have a number of them that they feature some articles. Case studies, equity and openness, student story stories. Here's a panel of faculty and OER practitioners, OER funding, webinars open for anti racism. And here's some of the their news, you know, things that they've received. And you can go to know about that we know about. You don't want to learn but you can see what you need to they offer degrees different pedagogy. There's some planning professional development, if you're interested. And then there's the projects that they're working on. So we're going to click on one of these as a conference if you need to attend an open OER conference. But if we could just go to the first one. So this one, the team. And this may be more suited. If you are trying to think about OER from a policy standpoint, and you want to show the rest of the faculty in your area how they could use OER in their courses, then you know this site I think is probably helpful in that aspect. So here we can go check out this particular OER program, but we've already looked at open stacks, not to say that, you know, you wouldn't find it necessary to continue to look. But here's another one go open CT where educators upload and share OER they are using. So under that one link you have other OER repositories to check out and so you know some of these sites organized OER is a little better for you to find it and some you have to kind of click and play. So here, you know, we've been here before, because I can see my own. My search terms are here still. Well, let me type in health. Let me not do that. Let me come here to maybe applied science. Graduate. And we'll just say standard. Yeah, we have been to this before. It was just under another link. And so you'll find that a lot of the OERs are enter links within each other, like some of them just kind of cycle you through some of the same places you've been like open stacks is used to fuel a lot of other OER so you'll go to their sites and use some new name with a new link. But when you get there you're finding you're still searching open stacks. Plus maybe some other things that they've kind of thrown in the mix. Well, since we've already looked at this one. I'm just going to go back and see what else we've been to open stack. This is their blog, and then open CSCU. This is the source to support the adoption and creation of, and the implementation of open practices throughout their system so again if you're looking for information to encourage people to teach them about OER to find strategies to finding OER. That's kind of what this how to create them helps you with that. So go back. I think that is about what you will find here. I'm not trying to get involved. There's a conference. Okay. I'm thinking we have just making sure really quickly. Yeah. Okay. And the last one is the digital public library of America and this is where you can search through 45 million images text videos and sounds from across the United States. They have primary source sets, sets they have exhibitions. You can look at browse by partner or by topic. I serve on the committee with the sunshine digital network and we curate in the newsletter something each month from DP LA is one of the partners for the sunshine digital network for Florida. And so you'll find that even if you have, let's say you're your family's historian, and you have collected photos, a bunch of metadata and you have, and you can include the metadata, the data about those images and records. You can create. You can sign up, you know, go into a corporation. That's not right. It's kind of contract but not, but you can enter agreement and you can share your items with them. So across Florida they're encouraging hidden archives. People have, you know, boxes of records from maybe the black girl scout troop and their closet and they don't know what to do with it but they're encouraging people to get those items digitized and share it with them and so if you share them with for example the sunshine digital network you are in essence sharing them with this particular repository as well. So that may be something to think about, you know, is this really interesting what people have in their closets. And we, you know, wouldn't want someone to kind of come in and not know what they were and just kind of throw it away because that's how a lot of history is being erased and overlooked so you know if you have family members. They may have something you know, have them check this out and see if they're interested in contributing. Some of the primary sources of have already been put together for you so if you're teaching, and you students need to understand something about the black power movement. Harlem Renaissance, they have something in here on. I don't remember what it was, but it's, it's a, it's a Florida historical event. It'll come to me later. And so you can pull and piece items from different parts of history, the Great Migration, Frank Lord, right, I mean, yeah, you get the idea. You can look at online exhibitions. So that you can show students, you know, what it's like to attend an exhibit, even if they've never been to a museum, or you can have them watch a 10 online exhibit before you actually take them to an in person exhibit so that they kind of just know what to expect. So you can click here to browse all exhibits if you're looking for images or videos or sounds to assist your lesson plans, or to engage students a little more in a particular topic or discussion. You should be able to find something here out of 45 million images text and videos, and you just type in your first couple of words. You can type in Florida history. You know, you can just type in Florida and see what you find. And here is something from the National Archives of College Park. This is something from the war. War Department. Maps photos. And it goes on for a while because it says 273,000. And these are ones with unspecified right status. So you can use them generally in your class, as long as you're not trying to, you know, take ownership or profit for them. You can use them for education purposes. This one these have unlimited reuse. Permission or fair use fair use is what you would, you know, be arguing for that you're using them for fair use for education purposes only. Some may say, in order for you to show the picture use a picture you have to get permission. And reuse with no modification, meaning that you can reuse it, put it on t shirts do whatever but you can't modify it. And then here are some with conditions and so that's kind of how these, these are just the rights status to be aware of when you're using them and so you can break it down by images or text, moving images, film, video, sound or physical objects. So you can click physical object and you can see there's the web of pale pen. Oyster clamshells foliage. Papers. All start wrestling similar woman doll you get the, again, you kind of get the just. And again, you know, maybe you're just looking for a couple of pictures to add to a lesson about history or about something, you know, or even someone. You can use the same photos that are out there on Wikipedia or generally pop up on the websites are Google or whatever you use, you can come here to find some, you know, really good stuff. And again, I just did Florida, because that's where I am. But you may want to search for something else you can search for people to see if they have anything here. Yeah, of course. I'm going to have to go ahead and type in her whole name as there's some others or so here there's 5366 items. So you get the photo of her. So you get correspondence. Dance performance you get a letter from Du Bois to person. The letter from her son to Du Bois or a history interview with gorilla girls. Interesting. Anyway, so you get you can get lost here of course. So if you again if you're looking for primary source sets, just to even talk to students about what a primary source is, even if it's not necessarily related to your lesson but graduate students are probably not. They may need a refresher in primary source versus secondary source. And this may be a way to teach that, you know, with some call for history and a collection to kind of just show them what that really does look like. Thank you again for listening and look forward to doing this again next week.
