Description
When the library first became involved with the Affordable Learning $olutions (AL$) initiative, a strategic decision was made to focus our efforts on providing faculty with the information they needed to incorporate affordable learning materials into their courses. Initially, three face-to-face workshops were offered with great success. However, time constraints on faculty was limiting participation. The decision was made by AL$ coordinators to restructure the workshop into an online format.
This presentation will address the process of adapting the in-person workshop to an online format. Feedback from the face-to-face workshops identified faculty concerns with the adoption of open access and non-traditional instructional materials was their lack of knowledge and comfort level with issues of copyright, fair use, and accessibility. Consequently the online workshop deals extensively with these issues. Faculty feedback indicates that the workshop has successfully allayed many of their concerns.
We will discuss our successes and challenges implementing and managing this workshop and moving the current AL$/OER initiative forward. Next steps include plans for a faculty learning community and converting the workshop to a series of self-guided tutorials.
