This is the third module in our training series that will provide participants with an introduction to OER authoring and remixing. We have designed these modules to first spark the learner's interest in the topics covered and then dig deeper into the content through presentations, storytelling, and demonstrations of the tools. We will offer opportunities for learners to practice exploring the resources and tools, and reflect on how they might use them in their work.

OER Fellows are invited to remix this OER Storytelling Template to share their stories of impact with Open Educational Resources (OER).Here is my story!

Many faculty are enthusiastic to help their students in any way they can. OER presents a ripe opportunity for this, but often the lack of success stories and knowledge of adequate resources can make the switch from traditional textbooks too daunting for instructors. This is my story of beginning to overcome this difficulty, and my goals with the rest of our college with respect to OER implementation.

In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, empowering faculty is crucial for fostering innovation and student engagement. Historically, insitutions of higher learning thrived on a model where professors were not just educators but also creators of their own course materials. They wrote their own texts, designed their own curriculum, and taught with a deep sense of ownership and expertise. However, with the rise of publishers and standardized content, this autonomy was gradually eroded. Open Educational Resources (OER) offer a return to this empowering model by providing faculty with the tools and resources to develop their own high-quality, customizable course materials. By embracing OER, we empower faculty to reclaim their role as content experts and facilitators of meaningful learning experiences, ultimately benefiting both educators and students alike.

What is a city? What shapes it? How does its history influence future development? How do physical form and institutions vary from city to city and how are these differences significant? How are cities changing and what is their future? This course will explore these and other questions, with emphasis upon twentieth-century American cities. A major focus will be on the physical form of cities—from downtown and inner-city to suburb and edge city—and the processes that shape them.

These questions and more are explored through lectures, readings, workshops, field trips, and analysis of particular places, with the city itself as a primary text. In light of the 2016 centennial of MIT’s move from Boston to Cambridge, the 2015 iteration of the course focused on MIT’s original campus in Boston’s Back Bay, and the university’s current neighborhood in Cambridge. Short field assignments, culminating in a final project, will provide students opportunities to use, develop, and refine new skills in “reading” the city.
