Affordable Courseware and Waymaker Information Session
As part of SUNY's recently announced multi-year partnership with Lumen Learning, focused on improving college affordability and student success through wide-scale use of Open Educational Resources (OER), Jamison Miller, Lumen's Director of Teaching and Learning for the Social Sciences, will be visiting MCC's LVG Library on Friday, September 27th between 11:30am-1:00pm in 2-423. In addition to having an academic background in the subject matter, Jamison is an internationally recognized researcher and leader within the larger open education community.
Title: Waymaker and the Continuous Improvement of Content: Affordable Courseware for Social Sciences
Description: Open educational resources (OER) grant us the permission to continuously improve our instructional materials, but to effectively do so we need more than permission. In this workshop, you will see how Waymaker courseware makes it possible to use learning data to identify where content improvements are needed. You will then learn how Lumen works collaboratively with SUNY faculty to develop and test improvements aimed at strengthening learning, all while reducing costs to students.
