OER and Professional Competence

For most teaching faculty, working with OER can be good evidence for competence in this area.

Some suggestions:

  1. Survey and gather data on how the use of OER in class affected student learning.
  2. Analyze grades and DFWI statistics before and after the OER adoption to assess impact on student learning and student success.
  3. Revise OER to be more relevant to student needs
  4. Tie adoption or revision of OER to curricular innovation and development.
