The Open for Antiracism Program (OFAR) supports California Community College faculty in leveraging Open Education to transform their teaching. The one-year online program includes a 6-week asynchronous course that explores OER, Antiracist Pedagogy, and Open Pedagogy. In the fall, participants complete an action plan that integrates OER and open pedagogy as tools for antiracist teaching and implement it in the Spring. Last year, OFAR undertook a full course redesign to improve the currency of the course materials and increase equitable participant engagement. In this session, hear from the OFAR course redesign leaders about the challenges and opportunities in revising a course meant to teach antiracist pedagogy. What does such a course look like, and how does this redesign manifest across content, delivery, feedback channels, and other design elements? Session attendees will be invited to discuss their experiences implementing antiracist and equitable pedagogy in course design.
Attendees of this session will be able to:- Define antiracist pedagogy and explain its relationship to open educational resources and open pedagogy.
- Identify at least two opportunities and two challenges in designing or revising a fully asynchronous online course that centers antiracist and equitable engagement.
- Apply at least one strategy or resource from the session to their own course design or revision process.
