Reworking OER to Fit Our Students' Needs with Becca Sibrian
Channel: ISU Libraries
Date: 2021-03-03

Becca Sibrian has been using an OER text for first year German developed by COERLL (Center for Open Educational Resources in Language Learning) based at UT in Austin. The text is web-based text, and completely free for students and faculty to use. But in order to make this work better for her classroom, she decided to rework some of the materials and create her own text. The licensing for this text allowed Becca's team to take material from that work and rework it for their purposes. Becca and her partner, Franziska Borders, have completed the grammar portion and will be working with content portions over summer 2021. This discussion will include: how the team started on this process, an introduction of the original resource, the process they undertook, how they use it in their courses, and the platforms used to create it (Pressbooks and H5P). 

This video was recorded 3/2/21 for Idaho Open Education Week.
