OER in Tenure and Promotion

The OER in Tenure and Promotion resource from the DOERS3 Collaborative is an excellent document explaining how to frame your OER and Open Pedagogy work for your faculty profile, whether for tenure and promotion or in the job search process.

Workshop Follow-Up

Now that you have ideas and resources for how to improve DEIA through OER and Open Pedagogy, consider the following as potential additional next steps and as ways of highlighting this work in your academic portfolio:

  • Present your revised syllabus, approaches, or lesson plans to your Academic Director, as a proposal for inclusion in your SPS course
  • Share your experience of implementing your DEIA improvements in a future OER/DEIA workshop
  • Present at the CUNY SPS Open Showcase (keep an eye out for details in the SPS Faculty Newsletter!)
  • Present at the annual CUNY OER Showcase (dates TBA)
  • Consider attending the Northeast OER Summit
  • Consider submitting an article about your DEIA/OER/Open Pedagogy approach(es) to the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy‘s short-form sections “Assignments” or “Teaching Fails” (rolling submissions)

Keep Active in the Broader OER and Open Pedagogy Community

Continue to expand your OER and Open Pedagogy practice by staying connected and active in the OER and Open Pedagogy community. Below are some great ways to keep current without a big time commitment.

  1. Choose to “Stay in the Loop” by signing up for the Open Education Conference communications available at the bottom of their website. Not only will you get updates on plans for the October OpenEd conference, but you can explore their site which provides access to recordings of the conferences presentations since 2020 (including some great 5- and 10-minute sessions).
  2. Subscribe for free to the OER Digest, a bi-weekly OER newsletter including job, grant, and access opportunities in the field of OER.
  3. Read or subscribe for free to the International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning (IRRODL) whose issues cover a range of applications and reviews of OER, Open Pedagogy, and other Open approaches.
