Summary:

"...Running the Play

Faculty panel discussions provide a prime opportunity for faculty members to share their experiences about teaching with open educational resources. They serve a dual purpose of recognizing the achievements of educators who have tried something new, while also demystifying what it takes to make the switch to OER. Hearing from fellow faculty members about what works and how OER impacts teaching and learning can encourage others to explore this path. This play is pretty simple: Identify opportunities to present a faculty panel discussion to an interested audience. This session format can be very effective at conferences, professional development events, and other meetings at the department, college, system, state, discipline, or national levels. Panels may be staged in-person or virtually, depending on the event. Commit your panelists to participate. Invite people who will be willing and engaging presenters, and who get excited about sharing what they’re doing with peers. Develop and submit your session proposal. Submission deadlines may occur months before the actual meeting, so be sure to work within any applicable deadlines.    Below are several few examples of session descriptions we’ve used for a faculty panel to discuss their experience with Lumen’s OER courseware. It helps to have faculty from different institutions and disciplines to do most of the speaking, with another representative (such as an OER initiative leader or a Lumen point person) as the facilitator. Coordinate the logistics. Once your session is confirmed, it is most effective for a session leader or facilitator to take the lead on coordinating how to structure the session and the role each panelist will play. Scheduling a brief coordinating call and circulating a session outline help make sure everyone is on the same page. It may also be helpful to distribute a common presentation template (if slides are needed, which may or may not be the case) and schedule an at-conference meeting for panelists to connect in advance of the session...."
