Embedding No-Cost and Low-Cost Materials in Program Design

Friday October 9, 2026 11:50am - 12:20pm EDT

4 Room T

ID: 33233

Open Educational Resources (OER) and other affordable learning materials are often adopted at the course level, yet students experience programs across a sequence of courses. Program-level information can illustrate how performance aligns across a program or course sequence and how students engage with course materials and learning activities over time. Because program-level quality and effectiveness assessment guides how programs are structured and reviewed, these processes create opportunities to consider the learning experience, including access to materials and possible barriers to successful, on-time completion. From this perspective, course material choices can function as elements of program design and support progression, completion, and performance. Open Education Practices contribute to this work through shared development, collaboration across faculty, and iterative improvement that aligns materials with the student experience and program goals. The session will discuss how these considerations appear within existing institutional contexts and how they can inform ongoing cycles of program review, evaluation, and improvement.
