Students as Contributors in OER Creation

Virginia Tech’s Open Education Initiative supports faculty who wish to adopt, adapt, or create and publicly share open educational resources in a variety of formats. Since inception of the initiative, program leadership and faculty partners have experimented with various ways to incorporate student contributions and feedback. This panel discussion features faculty and students from two OER project types which have incorporated students as contributors, paid anonymous reviewers from within the major, classroom survey respondents, paid graphic designers, and others with substantive roles in OER creation or adaptation projects.
