Part 2: Implement

Objective

Participants will use concepts and techniques examined in Part 1 to redesign a component of curriculum for a course they are teaching.

$300 stipend (in addition to $200 stipend from part 1.)

General Requirements

• Make a good faith effort to choose a course that you have a reasonable expectation to teach sometime during this academic year.
• Revise a “unit” or about 2 weeks worth of course materials using the ideas we explored in part 1.
  • Check in with me if you’re unsure about the amount.
  • If you’d like to tackle more of your course materials, feel free to do so.
• The goal of your redesign should be to increase diverse perspectives and voices, be more universally designed and/or culturally responsive. Be sure to center your work here.
• You must share what you produce with a Creative Commons license; this requires that you have permissions/ability to do so. Review the information on our Copyright Basics section, or ask if you are unsure.
• Materials include activities, course plans, reading lists, tutorials, texts, videos etc. The idea here is to share whatever someone else would need in order to implement this unit in their own class.
• Due dates:
  • Goals discussion post due Friday, 5/24.
  • Completed materials due Friday, 6/14. Submission prompt and form.

Part 2: Resources

• Part 1 materials, posts and threads will remain open; use them!
• Remember our OER faculty guide (on the library’s website), especially the “Create” and “Share” tabs
• D2L discussion topics
  • Feel free to use the Cohort Q&A and/or the Part 2 discussion topics here in our shell; Jen will monitor both during the break.
• Consider investigating “backward design” if you are not yet familiar with this approach. Here’s a primer: “Backward Design Process” (5:54)
