The symposium, co-sponsored by the University Libraries and Global Campus, connected supporters of open education for presentations, lightning talks, and panel discussions. Open educational resources (OER) are educational materials in the public domain or introduced with an open license, meaning they can be used freely. Educational materials like textbooks, curriculum, lecture notes, syllabi, assignments, and tests would be open to the public and could be used by students and faculty without cost. Carol Macheak, research and scholarly communications coordinator, said there is an OER Taskforce on campus that encourages 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock faculty to consider using open educational resources as a replacement for textbooks and/or supplemental readings. 鈥淢any 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock students cannot afford to purchase textbooks at the beginning of the semester, which means they are not able to read their assignments for the first 2-4 weeks of class,鈥 Mackeak said. 鈥淥ther students just can’t afford their textbooks, so they do without or they borrow and make copies or they buy an older edition.鈥 Edma Delgado-Solozano, assistant professor of Spanish, and students from the Spanish Introduction to Literature and Cultural Studies Class gave a presentation describing their development of materials for an OER textbook, the Antolog铆a abierta de literatura hispana. Students who participated in this project include Heather Rodriguez, Daisy Vasquez, Nallely Lopez, and Bryana Herrara. The textbook is the brainchild of Julie Ward, assistant professor of Spanish from the University of Oklahoma. The textbook is produced with student-generated content through the development of critical editions of canonical texts from Hispanic literature. The goal of this project is to crowd source entries including introductions, annotations in the text, and discussion questions of important literary texts in the public domain.
