Open Educational Resources: Teaching Practice and Lessons learned
Conference Tracks
Teaching Practices (Poster Only) – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
Our study focuses on discussing teaching practices, challenges and lessons learned from the implementation of an open textbook initiative in an introduction to database course at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC). The study was made possible through the affordable learning Georgia (ALG) grant awarded in spring 2019. Our study will share specific classroom activities developed and resources utilized to offer the course using open educational resources (OER). Our approach focuses on integrating active learning approaches based on constructivist learning theory. The no textbook nature of the course provided flexibility in implementing classroom activities to build career awareness and team building skills among students. Our study will highlight results of feedback received from students in reference to use of open educational resources in the course.
