Public Teaching Faculty Training
Topic outline
-
Description:
The Faculty Cohort is a summer-long learning community, running from early June to early August and delivered synchronously and asynchronously online.
In this learning community, we will explore open education, open educational resources, textbook publishing and related issues, technology, and impacts in terms of curriculum and teaching and learning. This will provide the foundation in terms of confidence and knowledge to begin working on our targeted course.
Cohort Goals:
- Create a community by connecting cohort teaching faculty and librarian members from across the state in a supportive learning environment.
- Improve your understanding of Open Education, Open Education Resources (OER), and the licensing that makes OER open.
- Be able to find and critically examine OER related to the targeted course of expertise for quality.
- Learn to approach curriculum design using open resources and practices, with consideration of universal design for accessibility, and an equity lens to improve course material.
- Provide introduction to open education and to the infrastructure for open publishing (Pressbooks) and open course design (Moodle template) and corresponding tools and skills.
Instructional Technologies:
Through this experience, participants will use Google Drive, Moodle, Pressbooks, a web conferencing tool (Zoom, Teams, or WebEx), and OER repositories.
Schedule:
The cohort activity consists of five two-week modules. Activities assigned to each module are available via this Moodle course. This training portion of the project will run through mid-August.

Welcome to Module 4! In this module, we continue to develop our understanding of strategies we can use to support content creation and the accessibility of content. We will continue to explore these themes in depth through our training sessions over the fall.
