Why are OER ancillary resources important? They can tip the scales...
Show of hands please…
Anyone here hesitated to adopt an open resource orknow someone who hesitated to adopt due to the lack of ancillary resources?
Over 40% of the respondents to a 2016 survey of 2,902 faculty members at 29 higher education institutions….
...ranked supplements as important or very important factors in textbook adoption (Green 2016).
The lack of ancillary resources for open textbooks negatively impacts faculty perceptions and adoption rates (Jhangiani et al. 2016).
“Wow it is a real textbook with real resources. There are lots of textbook problems and both a student instructor’s solutions manual? Let me look at that...I might adopt it…”https://openstax.org/details/college-physics
Trades Common Core ancillary resources in the works●Procedural videos●Tool animations●Bringing all of the
resources together into Open LMS courses
Procedural videos where should I put them?● Youtube link● Embedded into open
textbook● Standalone files
Maybe these elements are best located within content pages of an open LMS courses?
This gives us an opportunity to incorporate other universal design elements

Best Practices
Open Licensing
Modularity
HostingConsumption or collaboration?Can it allow modularity, flexible consumption choices, no limits to access, possibility to contribute to and edit the resources…Should it be institutional (UBC, Camosun, Douglas, etc.) or independent?
Editable
Can the content be edited with free or open source software?
Benefits of making it easy to edit:better adoption rates
quicker adaptationall around better quality resources
