The Shift to Open Playbook

Our 1st step was to learn about what OERs are, So one of the 1st projects we started working on was creating a playbook website that basically acted as a one-stop-shop, tutorial for open implementation. It’s a way to provide step-by-step instructions on different aspects of OERS. It meets people where they are at, if they don’t know anything about OERs they can start at the beginning, or they can just pick and choose the topics they want to learn more about.

Above is a little video run navigating the website. This was a perfect first project because it pushed us to learn as much as possible about OER so that we could help others do the same. A lot of research went into creating the playbook and we hope it will be used as a comprehensive guide on our campus and in our community. We explain creative common licensing, different ways to access OERs, how to remix and adapt them, open pedagogy, and more. Right now it is in the pilot stage, but we are hoping to get it online soon!
