I have a history of leaning toward Open Educational Resources (OER) wherever possible: it saves students real money, is immediately accessible, and I’ve found the quality of the texts to be excellent, particularly for introductory courses. I used OER at the College of William and Mary, where I received a grant to redesign the syllabus around OER and test supplemental materials, and later at CSI, where I was PI on a campus-wide $126k grant to fund faculty adoption of OER textbooks and pass the savings on to students.
Currently, I am refining and re-imagining my courses in an AI era in order to elicit full participation and to prevent students becoming emotionally divorced from their work. Below are the teaching materials most commonly requested.
