Description
An overview of the progress and initiatives related to Open Educational Resources (OER) at Fort Hays State University and across the state of Kansas. The presentation covers the statewide OER committee's goals and activities, including webinars, workshops, and a potential statewide OER conference. At the university level, the focus is on the Z-course designation, which identifies courses that use zero-cost course materials, and the Z-course grant program that provides funding to faculty to convert their courses to use OER. Two faculty members, Robert Lloyd and Janet Stramel, also share their experiences in authoring open textbooks, discussing the benefits, challenges, and processes involved. Overall, the presentation highlights the growing efforts to make education more affordable and accessible for students through the adoption and creation of OER.
