| dc.description.abstract | Open Oregon Educational Resources received federal and Governor’s Emergency Education Relief funding to develop openly licensed, targeted pathway materials with an equity lens for Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS), Sociology, and Criminal Justice. This project redesigns high-enrollment courses in disciplines that lead to in-demand occupations where high-quality openly licensed course materials with an equity lens are not currently available. To support author teams, we push beyond the traditional concept of OER as an affordability tool to include a throughline that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We developed a DEI toolkit in Pressbooks to engage participants in OER development strategies that center equity in the labor-intensive process of textbook creation and design. Recognizing the challenges of coordinating training sessions for a large project team and the need to accommodate learner variability, we created an interactive, accessible toolkit that provides participants with synchronous and asynchronous options for engagement. It is designed to be flexible, allowing team members to participate and learn at their own pace, with regular and sustained interaction with equity consultants, instructional designers, and other specialists for questions and feedback. | en |
