GETTING INVOLVED

Faculty and students at U-M not only contribute educational content but also help with publishing resources on the OER website. Some publish on their own while others use the dScribe process.

Matthew Velkey is Course Director of Medical Histology. At U-M, histology and pathology courses have gone digital. Slides and lab guides are available online. Dr. Velkey contributed contents for the M1-Cardiovascular / Respiratory Sequence.

Peter Woolf is Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering. His Process Dynamics and Controls course uses an Open Textbook co-authored by his ChemE 466 students.

Annemarie Sullivan Palincsar is a professor in the School of Education at the University of Michigan. See the OER version of her course EDU 403 - Individualized Reading Instruction in the Elementary Grades.

dScribe is an initiative that uses students to convert curriculum materials into OER. dScribes work with faculty over the course of the semester to gather, review, clear, and edit course materials for publication here, the U-M OER website. dScribes undergo a short, but intensive training session given by members of the U-M OER team. There, they learn about the dScribe publishing process, develop a basic understanding of OERca (our OER content management software tool), and learn how to identify and resolve copyright concerns within lecture materials. >> read more
