Open Educational Resources (OER)

April training alone).

trainer training. It focuses on training the participants to be OER
masters who can offer OER training to beginners.
• Training registration at www.waol.org/faculty_and_staff/
Research
• We have completed data collection and analysis (derived from
survey responses with 770 faculty and interviews with 53
faculty). We anticipate completion of the data report in May.

Shared Courses - Canvas
• Faculty will continue to access their MyWAOL page
from within Canvas.
• The instructor’s account from the teaching school is
enrolled in the shared course.
• Our plan is to have all shared courses in the teaching
college Canvas sites, instead of in SBCTC Canvas as
they are now. This should help with manageability, so
the local e-learning staff can help administer the
courses. We’re working with Instructure and the college
e-learning coordinators to get this done in time for
Summer quarter.

services, and

more timely and up-to-date.
