"Tutoring Students Simplified with Technologies" - Mel Jones

During the session, I will demonstrate how I tutor my students online.  I will share some strategies and techniques by incorporating useful technologies in the process.



"Course Marking & More: Institutional Supports for OER" - Leah Halliday

Open educational resources (OER) are freely available, openly licensed educational materials that can be used to replace or supplement traditional textbooks. OER can help to reduce the cost of education and improve student outcomes. Affordable Learning Kentucky is a program of the Kentucky Virtual Library and the KY Council for Postsecondary Education that is dedicated to promoting student success and educational equity by leveraging affordable resources and supporting the adoption, adaptation, and creation of OER in the Commonwealth. Course marking is one way that institutions can support the uptake of OER. Course marking is the process of identifying courses that use OER. This can be done by creating a database of OER courses or by adding OER information to course catalogs. Course marking can help students to find courses that use OER and can also help instructors to identify OER that they can use in their courses. This lightning talk will highlight some approaches to course marking that institutions can consider as well as other ways that institutions can support the uptake and use of open and affordable resources.
