SUMMARY:VIVA FY26 OEN Train the trainer: Intro to OER Adoption Workshop
DESCRIPTION:VIVA is offering a virtual\, synchronous Open Education 
 Network's Train-the-trainer: Intro to OER Adoption Workshop on May 19th 
 from 10am-1:00pm. Upon completion of the workshop\, participants will be 
 considered a VIVA OEN Campus Leader in OER Adoption. \n\nParticipants will 
 \n\n\n	Discover how to demonstrate to faculty that open textbooks lower 
 student costs and increase educational equity.\n	Encourage faculty to 
 engage with open textbooks by inviting them to review a book in the Open 
 Textbook Library.\n\n\nUpon completion of the workshop\, participants will 
 be considered certified as a VIVA OEN Campus Leader in OER Adoption and 
 will be able to: \n\n\n	Deliver the Introduction to OER Adoption Workshop\, 
 which introduces faculty to open textbooks - one type of open educational 
 resource (OER) and the benefits these textbooks offer: affordability\, 
 pedagogical practice\, student learning\, and engagement. Faculty are then 
 invited to engage with open textbooks by writing a brief review of a book 
 in the Open Textbook Library\, a strategy proven to increase likelihood 
 that faculty will adopt OER for their courses.\n\n\nWorkshop 
 Contents\n\nTwo facilitators from the OEN community will lead the group 
 through: \n\n\n	Uncover barriers to open textbook adoption\n	Discuss 
 strategies for raising awareness\, educating\, and engaging \n	Practice 
 successful strategies for responding to questions about open 
 education\n	Discuss ways to incentivize faculty engagement with open 
 textbooks\n\n\nThere will be small group discussions\, plenty of time for 
 questions\, and a 30-minute break. The session will be interactive to 
 encourage community building\, connection\, and a shared learning 
 experience.\n\nEligibility\n\nAnyone at a VIVA member institution is 
 eligible to participate in the training. We recommend it to those who are 
 interested in facilitating either the Introduction to OER Adoption Workshop 
 or program managers wishing to learn more about supporting OER
