Item Hi DSpace, nice to meet you. I'm Pressbooks.(Texas Digital Library, 2023-05-18) Johnson, Emily; Ivie, DeeAnnIn the past 2 years The University of Texas at San Antonio launched instances of Pressbooks and DSpace to the university community. As the OER and Scholarly Communication Librarians, we were interested in learning more about best practices and workflows at other universities for archiving OERs in institutional repositories. Afterwards, in conjunction with the Library Systems department, we developed a workflow for automatically pushing OERs created in Pressbooks into our DSpace repository using a SWORD protocol. This presentation will describe our findings from the background research we conducted, the process for linking Pressbooks and DSpace, and future work we will be doing in this area.Item Open Content Deserves Open Platforms(Texas Digital Library, 2019-05-16) Wagstaff, SteelItem Session 1B | How to Remix in Pressbooks: Cloning, Editing, Adding More(Texas Digital Library, 2021-05-24) Song, AmyAdopting OER (open educational resources) is rarely a simple one-for-one switch. Adoption usually involves a certain amount of adaptation. That could mean reordering chapters, embedding media, editing text and images to be responsive to new cultural contexts, or creating a “Frankenbook‚Äù‚Äîbooks that are made up of chapters from several open sources. In this session, Amy Song will demonstrate how to clone OER into the Pressbooks Authoring & Editing Platform, add/remove/rearrange chapters, embed media, and perform other updates in order to prepare it for a class (online or face-to-face). Participants will be guided through a hands-on workshop on the basics of editing content in the Pressbooks Authoring & Editing Platform.Item Session 1B | It’s alive! Reviving OER with interactive content to create a living online course(2022-05-23) McLeod, John; Davis, Mick; Masura, Julie; Jones, Christine"The 5Rs of OER are not only a framework for licensing, but an opportunity to breathe life into texts that might otherwise be forgotten. The 5Rs also power the generosity that open education advocates and practitioners have been sharing with their peers who are new to online education. The speed at which open textbook creators can now adapt material for new contexts is a valuable skill as the future of higher education constantly shifts, and, coupled with the potential for OER to grow and fill new gaps, OER creators are poised to lead the shift to blended and online learning. This discussion will feature educators who have incorporated formative and summative assessment into their OER to use the resource as a package for an online course. By using H5P interactive content, importing chapters from other texts, and/or adding a social annotation layer with Hypothesis, participants have revived OER to become the basis for online learning and an efficient way to transfer a previously in-person course to a blended or online classroom. Our participants will share their experiences with creating and incorporating H5P content, speaking about their challenges, their successes, and their surprises.
