Program Description
In the humanities, students are expected to study a variety of primary sources, but in the digital age, instructors face a pedagogical dilemma. On the one hand, instructors can require students to purchase anthology textbooks that include most or all of the assigned texts for a course; on the other hand, instructors can choose to patch together course readings from disparate digital resources that host public domain materials. The choice, then, is between paying for convenience or working to make learning accessible and inclusive. This presentation offers a case study in turning public domain texts into an OER textbook, using examples from African American Philosophy. After covering three basic considerations in the creation of an OER anthology, we will present examples of OER anthologies, both completed and in-progress. Participants are invited to share how this practice can be implemented in their own fields/disciplines.
