SUMMARY:How Do Course Materials Impact Student Belonging? Insights from User Experience Research (CCCOER Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Explore how course materials – especially OER – shape students’ sense of belonging through insights from a user-experience-informed research study with undergraduate learners. This CCCOER webinar highlights key questions faculty authors should ask themselves about course reading language\, organization\, and purpose\, in order to further student belonging. \nAttendees will take away practical strategies for editing OER with student needs in mind\, along with research approaches that can be adapted across higher education settings\, including community colleges.
