This book begins with a discussion of key concepts we think will help readers understand the assignments included. We see the chapters exploring key concepts connecting diversity and inclusion work to faculty-centered spaces to support student-centered learning space design. Most of the chapters share an inclusive assignment or inclusive practice for readers to adapt and adopt into their own learning spaces. This books is designed to support teachers implementing inclusive practices in their learning spaces.

We invite readers to consider how our definitions support and expand the work of diversity and inclusion offices at their own institutions. We invite readers to consider how our definitions help them use and/or remix the inclusive assignments shared to further their inclusive excellence work.

Long Description:
The OER Adoption Journey is an OER designed to be used as part of a support system for OER adoption in a learning space/course. It is a model of what integration of multiple OER can look like within learning materials. We created The OER Adoption Journey to support faculty, librarians, and instructional designers working through OER adoption. We invite readers to use the book as is, in support of their OER adoption journey and/or OER adoption initiatives. We invite readers to break our content into modules and sub-modules for your own LMS to support OER adoption on your campus. Then build upon it to meet the needs of your own faculty as they embark on their own OER adoption journey. Modules/chapters within this book are designed for both new and seasoned OER adopters. Use parts as appropriate, revisit parts as appropriate to suit your learning and adopting needs.

The content of this OER was originally designed as a course in a learning management system (LMS) to support a group of Millersville University faculty who were adopting OER for the first time. The OER Adoption Journey goes beyond finding and selecting OER course materials. It contains reflection questions to assist the adopter in thinking through integrating OER into their course in a way that is learner centered.
