Are the video lectures captioned and do they have audio descriptions?

The video lectures are not produced by the editors.

I’ve been using the first edition for a year. It took me months to convert the PDFs into Canvas pages. Can the first edition be included on the website as I do not plan to redo for the second edition.

I don’t know what Libra text is?

Any plans for a Perspectives/Explorations style OER textbook for Archaeology?

Karen - Libretexts.org

It is a platform for editing and remixing. We will soon have complete information on all things LIbretexts at asccc-oeri.org

Sarah - there are two Arch OER that will be discussed today. Perhaps they meet your needs

I already use them, and like many aspects of them, but I would love a larger format one like Explorations.

@Michelle - thanks, sounds like it will be easy to convert. I’d assume then that all the images come in with alt text.

Yes - what happens is the pages in Libre get embedded in Canvas. So, if someone fixes a typo or updates something in Libre, that gets pushed to your course in Canvas.

Wow, I’m on board :-)

And, of course, you can tailor things to your needs - if there are elements of the text that you don’t care for. It’s very easy to, for example, reorder the chapters.

You all did a great job on these. My students are so grateful

Great!

The issue I’ve had with a disabled student was that she needed page numbers. So, mixing things up would be something to consider. It was not easy for her to just find the articles in the first edition. She needed a page number which did not exist.

the audio is a great addition!

Libre has page numbers - and they change dynamically if you reorder.

I love the availability of the print copies.

Michelle - thanks.

@Karen Oeh - The PDFs have page numbers. So that might be a better fit for your student.

Thanks Katie.

I convert to Canvas pages.

The activities are great. They were also easy to adapt to the online environment during COVID

Amanda, can you put the emails up for people who want to be involved.

Amanda (and other archaeology types) - my YouTube channel has lots of short, fun videos that track your book pretty close. Here’s the link (and a bit of shameless self-promotion):

https://www.youtube.com/c/KinkellaTeachesArchaeology

@Claire: oer.archaeology@gmail.com and/or paskeya@crc.losrios.edu

Andrew - are your videos openly licensed?

Thanks Amanda

Amanda, could you submit your book to the Open Textbook Library? https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/

Shameless Andrew, shameless....

My videos are just out in the world on a regular YouTube channel.

@Katie-- I can work on that! Thanks!

Is the webinar recording going to be available? I'd like to share it with my colleagues

@Dana - Yes, it will be one our website. Asccc-oeri.org. I’ll ask that everyone who is registered be informed when it is available. This would probably be sometime on Monday.

We just see the PPT slide

Sorry about that!

Is the text tailored to lower division?

Yes it is

Can you post the website in the chat?

A preliminary copy of LGBTQ+ text: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-lgbtq-studies/

@Katie Both these texts are awesome. Also very excited about the LGBTQ+ OER text!

This is all amazing!

this book looks to follow the stein and stein text which is good!

This text looks amazing!

That is a GREAT feature that truly reflects the way our students are accessing content for their learning

I love the Canvas integration!

Hi Amanda, Is there any way you could provide us the Canvas shell link or information in the chat? This looks wonderful. Thank you!

Thank you!! This is fantastic!

This is really fabulous! Thank you

https://asccc-oeri.org/resources/

You all are amazing! Anthro faculty rock.

It's great to see the lineup

These are great! Would love to see a Linguistic Anthropology OER book

It would be great to have a Race and Ethnicity OER, especially given the new requirement

Linguistic Anthropology. I came late but it might have been addressed.

I agree that a four-field textbook would be extremely useful for a lot of CCs

a cultural anthropology reader would be terrific

Linguistic Anthro is important to my college: Irvine Valley College

linguistics

Yes! A cultural reader would be great!

Thanks!

I teach medical anthro but not many CC offer it.

Wow, a reader would also be utterly fantastic to have!

I offer Medical Anth at my CC

Medical Anthropology would be great too

A reader wouldn’t be too hard - a lot of anthropologists were happy to donate their work for our OER

Our college is starting a "low cost" textbook flag so we can use ethnographies

Our library has been able to buy some copyrighted ebooks (not OER) ethnographies that our ANTH courses use.

but still makes them no-cost

Here is a link from Cornell University with free and accessible anthropology material and ethnographies: https://cornellopen.org/anthropology/

Thank you Amy for this!

Is there a rough estimate of when “Traces” will be ready?

@Shirley (and everyone) - I don’t think I touched upon that! We hope it’ll be ready by January 2022.

@John Thanks!

@Amy - Thanks!

Your welcome!

That’s awesome Amy, thanks

Vital Source is a great resource for free books, ethnographers included.

Thank you for this - very exciting. Have to go a little early

@Karen How do you locate the free Vital Source content?

How do other schools advertise their OERs through the bookstore? Ours makes you either list the print copy or “no required books”. Do other schools have a better system?

We’re really getting to the point where there is not a different in quality. And the really great thing - if you hate something, you fix if. You don’t have to hold your nose and life with every chapter as developed by a publisher.

This has been a terrific discussion! Thanks for the invite. I have to leave now—one the East Coast and family is here for dinner:)

I think it’s a challenge to for instructors who use a book they authored but don’t own copyright to

My favorite study on the impact of OER: https://www.isetl.org/ijtlhe/pdf/IJTLHE3386.pdf

I just learned about OER - TedEx videos. Would you add videos and photo resources to your page with the textbooks?

Peer reviewed papers on the quality and efficacy of OER: https://online.umkc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Peer-Reviewed-OER-Research.pdf

TedEd

You want to be very careful about using things with copyright - its very easy to slip into doing things that you really are not allowed to do.

Yes, Michelle. That’s true.

My bookstore does the same. “No textbook for purchase necessary for this course.”

@Sarah that is the million $ question

@Michelle Thank you

Maddening. Technology forcing you into a stupid box.

My college bookstore refuses to purchase paper copies of OER because they insist on adding a 25% mark up which is against the CC license. Its a real struggle.

Well, NC OER that si

This has been one of the most helpful OER webinars I’ve attended. Thanks so much!

Great webinar! Thank you!

Thanks, everyone! I was blown away by all these OER resources we have at our disposal.

The LibreText remixer is easy to use and pretty awesome tool

Thank you for this webinar. Really grateful for all of the work and for sharing of this great material. Take care all :)

Thanks for hosting this!

Amanda, Thank you so much for your Canvas course! I’ve already imported it, and it’s amazing!
