Three IU School of Liberal Arts faculty have collaborated to design a new Open Educational Resource about environmental harm and collective memory.
University Library partners with faculty across campus to create and promote Open Educational Resources (OERs) supporting student success. Three faculty from the IU Indianapolis School of Liberal Arts—Professor Elizabeth Kryder-Reid, Senior Lecturer Audrey Ricke, and Professor Laura Holzman, have created a resource designed to, “support teaching and learning about issues related to environmental harm and their intersection with formal and informal memory practices.” The freely available book offers activities and discussion questions to help students and the public explore questions and issues of environmental harm. https://iu.pressbooks.pub/teachingtoxicheritage/
Open Education Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. --Hewlett Foundation
