    An Introduction to Open Educational Resources
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07) Cohen, Nadine ; Dimsdale, Denise ; Kowalski, Melanie ; Nash, Bethany ; Rascoe, Fred
    From Librarians at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, this is “An Introduction to Open Educational Resources”. Textbook costs are too high, and getting higher. However, there is a growing movement in academia that could bring about free and shareable textbooks to all. Open Educational Resources, or OER’s are changing the way the educational material is created and distributed. In this program, hear academic authors and advocates explain how OER’s are created, adopted, and why they could change how students learn. Includes interviews with: Nicole Allen, SPARC; David Ernst, University of Minnesota; Quill West, Pierce College; Steve Kraftchick, Emory University; Jennifer McGee, Emory Oxford College; Deanna Cozart, University of Georgia; Brian Dotts, University of Georgia.

    Open Access: Generation Open
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-12) Burtle, Laura ; Burright, Mariann ; Kowalski, Melanie ; Melton, Sarah ; Nash, Bethany ; Rascoe, Fred
    From Librarians at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and the University of Georgia, this is “Open Access: Generation Open”. Open Access is a movement to make academic research available for public access without restriction, and usually without reuse restrictions. Academics publish research for the good of their career, for the good of their chosen discipline, and for the good of the public at large. But too often, the public is not in a position to access the research that their tax dollars helped to produce. Copyrights to research are signed over to the private companies and societies, and they sit behind paywalls online, inaccessible to many who have need for it. Open Access is a means to expand the reach of published research, to take it out from behind paywalls and into the hands of the public. It’s a concern that many academics are starting to take seriously. For the next hour, we’re going to hear from early career academics, and find out what open access means to them. Includes interviews with: Erin McKiernan, Nick Shockey, John Drake, Ted Dallas, Roxanne Moore, Julian Stirling, Tony Fast, and Carrie Freeman.
