A key component in many successful community college adoption campaigns has been participating in communities of practice (CoP). Members of the CCCOER community of practice from across the US and Canada will share how participating in and leveraging the community activities supports their design of effective open educational practices and policies at their college. Panelists: Quill West, Open Education Project Manager, Pierce College District, CCCOER Advisory board president. Sue Tasjian, Jody Carson, Northern Essex Community College, co-leaders of the Massachusetts Community College Go Open project. Regina Gong, OER Project Manager, Lansing Community College Jason Pickavance, Director of Educational Initiatives at Salt Lake Community College Alisa Cooper, Glendale Community College Faculty, co-chair of the Maricopa Millions OER project. Educause’s definitive Communities of Practice Design Guide: A Step-by-Step Guide for Designing & Cultivating Communities of Practice in Higher Education (Cambridge, Kaplan, Suter, 2005) identified 4 key activities that support the identified purposes of a CoP: Develop Relationships and Build Trust Learn and Develop Practice Carry Out Tasks and Projects Create New Knowledge Each college will share their unique story of promoting the adoption of open educational resources and the benefits and challenges for students and faculty. The Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) is a community of practice focused on promoting OER adoption to expand access to education while enhancing teaching practices and learning outcomes. Through members sharing successful practices and policies in online and open forums such as our monthly webinars and at conferences across the country, best practices can easily be understood and adopted by newcomers. Hear from our member colleges who have designed effective open educational practices and policies and who walk the talk by sharing them with other colleges.
