Are you a project leader or facilitator who is interested in multi-author, cross-institutional textbook development with the support of a project leadership team? Are you a criminal justice faculty member looking for openly licensed, high-quality course materials designed with an equity lens? Watch this lightning talk to learn about a project under way in Oregon.
The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) in the U.S. Department of Education awarded a grant to Open Oregon Educational Resources to develop openly-licensed, targeted pathway materials with an equity lens for Criminal Justice. We've gathered a project team that includes a research consultant, instructional designer, instructional editor, equity consultant, project manager, academic peer reviewers, and workforce advisory board to support authors designing, developing, and implementing open textbooks and course materials for:
- Introduction to the American Criminal Justice System
- Introduction to Criminology
- Race & Crime
- Mental Disorders and the Criminal Justice System
In this presentation we'll describe how the project team structure supports our authors and provide a link to the project descriptions/course outcomes for our Criminal Justice OER.
By attending this session, attendees will be able to:- Explain how a statewide support team can fill gaps in institutional support for OER
- Point out the benefits and challenges of various stages of training for authors (eg. during onboarding vs point-of-need)
- Describe a process for equity-based text and course design
