Faculty Frequently Asked Questions

There are many existing OER that you adopt for your course. If this is not the case for your course, you can adapt/remix existing OER to meet your needs or explore authoring an OER. Feel free to look at some of the resources we recommend for locating existing OER or contact the Open SLCC team for assistance with finding, adapting, or creating OER for your course! 
Great! With Creative Commons licenses, you can have the freedom to adapt resources to your needs! Reach out to the Open SLCC team for support and advice. 
Some OER include ancillaries such as activities, labs, slide decks, etc. If you have questions about potential teaching resources, reach out to the Open SLCC team and we can assist you! If we cannot locate existing ancillary resources, the Open SLCC team can support you with possible options including potential funding opportunities for faculty to create such resources. 
OER production at SLCC can occur in many ways depending on the scope of the project. The OER Production Workflow shows one possible workflow for adapting/remixing/authoring an OER at SLCC. However, to determine what is needed for your project, please reach out to the Open SLCC team for support and advice. 
Some OER creators regularly update their content to reflect revisions and corrections. If you adapt/remix/author an OER, with Creative Commons licensing you have the option to update your content at any time! If you have questions about this process, contact the Andrea Scott, andrea.scott@slcc.edu
