Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

As summarized by OER Commons, "the Faculty Quick Start Guide (22 page PDF) is an outcome of a project by ISKME, supported by a grant from the Michelson 20MM Foundation, to conduct a study and develop a set of resources to accelerate OER use for distance education, especially the urgent shift to remote learning during the pandemic in 2020." As the big picture on the front cover makes clear, it's addressed specifically to California community colleges, but it will be useful for everyone. The guide includes advice on using OER to build courses, accessible learning experiences, and socially just learning experiences. It points to resources like OpenStax course shells, free OER authoring tools, and places to find OER.
