This session will provide an overview of how and why TUS Open Press has published a collection of inclusive teaching and learning OER. This collection includes TUS Sensory Awareness Guide, Your Essay Builder: Clear Steps to Plan and Structure Your Essay and forthcoming publications including Starting University Guide for Students with Disabilities and a Case Study of how Mind Mapping Software was successfully used in our institution. We will share the perspectives of the authors and how they have embraced Open Licensing. Our authors have created their works using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and have very generously shared their considerable expertise with our TUS Open Press Community of Practice members which has been hugely beneficial. We are excited to continue supporting our Student Support Services colleagues to publish Pressbooks which embody inclusive teaching practices for the benefit of our TUS university community, and the OER community more broadly.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Understand the origins of, and ethos behind, this inclusive teaching and learning OER collection.
- Engage with the OER collection.
- Reflect on the experiences of these OER creators.
