Description
The speaker discussed their experience in revamping a Spanish course for culinary arts students. They found the existing course materials to be lacking in interactivity and not tailored to the students' needs. To address this, the speaker conducted a survey with the students to understand where they encounter Spanish, what phrases they need at work, and what they wish they could say. Using this feedback, the speaker developed their own open educational resource (OER) for the course, which is hosted on Canvas and includes a variety of interactive elements such as vocabulary activities, comprehension questions, and a menu-based activity. The speaker emphasized the importance of making the course materials accessible and adaptable, allowing instructors to customize the content as needed. The speaker also shared their process of developing the OER, noting that it was an iterative process that involved revising and refining the materials over time based on student feedback and their own teaching experience. Overall, the lecture highlighted the benefits of creating tailored, interactive OER resources to better support student learning.
