Abstract
Dr. Tyler's journey with OER started in 2016. Rice University, in a partnership with Salt Lake Community College, had to develop several courses using their own textbooks. As a result of being a beta tutor pioneer in 2016, Dr. Tyler saw how students wanted more opportunities to use free textbooks. She also had a chance to see how the new pedagogy is changing the way teachers teach in all modalities. This lightning talk will describe her journey with OER and will provide 10 tips for all teachers embarking upon the OER journey.
