To help you plan your participation the conference program schedule can be filtered by date, venue, session type, and session format using the Filter functions.
Filter by Date lets you look at a specific day of the program. Filter by Venue lets you look at the program by venue rooms where sessions are taking place. Filter by Type lets you look at the program by track. In addition to keynotes and breaks the program is made up of three main tracks or types of sessions Pedagogy, Roles, and Strategies. Clicking on a type in Filter by Type lets you see only sessions of that type in the program schedule. In addition, Pedagogy, Roles, and Strategies each have a set of associated topics. Topics appear when you hover over a type name in the Filter by Type area of Sched. Topics are clickable allowing you to further filter the program by topic. Session Format lets you view the program by types of sessions - Action Labs, Lightning Talks, Posters, Presentations, and World Cafes.
The conference program is rich and diverse representing the current state of open education around the world.
A common thread throughout the literature on adjunct faculty is that they consistently report feeling disconnected from the institution(s) they work for. As a result, we typically see that adjunct faculty are reluctant to pursue the adoption of “radical” teaching practices, like open pedagogy, and this reluctance is exacerbated by the time and effort required to make such pedagogical shifts. This presentation will unpack and examine one adjunct’s experience of participating in a library-led OER Faculty Fellowship opportunity that was open to both full-time and adjunct faculty at a private, 4-year institution in the United States: how her participation served to create an unexpected connection with a librarian and ultimately helped integrate her into the larger campus community. As the OER and OEP communities continue to grow and diversify, we hope this presentation will help spark a dialogue about how the academic community, not just the library, can play a role in facilitating and driving the inclusion and support of adjunct faculty now, as opposed to leaving them as an afterthought.
