For my final project, I would like to research the emergence of OERs in humanities disciplines specifically. I may focus on a particular field, like English, or I might keep the scope of my presentation on the humanities more broadly, depending on the resources I am able to find and utilize. In addition to getting a better understanding of the general state of OERs in the humanities, including documenting what prominent resources already exist, what is the general level of use by scholars, and what are some future trends to look out for, I will provide a list of recommendations for a hypothetical humanities-centered OER outreach initiative as it might be undertaken by a research university library. For this part of the presentation, I will also research OER outreach initiatives and related projects in order to gauge hat might be successful. Ultimately, I want to outline a plan to more effectively involve humanities faculty in OER creation and use.
Sounds good!
