- Abstract
This session will describe the Equity and Open Education Faculty Cohort professional development course, originally designed by Jen Klaudinyi at Portland Community College, and scaled statewide in collaboration with Open Oregon Educational Resources. A new version of the course aimed at participants in support roles, such as librarians, instructional designers, accessibility services, will launch in Spring 22. The central insight of the course is that faculty often assume that their course is more equitable when they adopt affordable materials, but an open license does not ensure an equity lens, including universal design, cultural relevance, and diverse perspectives.
- Learning Outcomes
Attendees will consider the intersection of open education and EDI.
Attendees will be aware of professional development opportunities for faculty and support roles in Oregon.
Attendees will access openly licensed materials that can be adopted/adapted at their own institution.
