A Textbook Author's Perspective on Affordable and Open Educational Resources
STANDARD SESSION (45 minutes)
Presenter: Dr. Jeff Thomas - Associate Teaching Professor of Civil, Architectural, & Environmental Engineering; Missouri S&T
Audience: Higher Education
Time and Location: 12:15 - 1:00 p.m.; Room 115
Having published class web sites for 20 years and a textbook for 10 years, Dr. Thomas would like to share a few observations. Yes, there is a cost difference between these products, but they are also used by different audiences and in different ways. As a quick comparison, his openly-available sites have been used by 620,000 people for a total of 66,000 hours. During the same time period, the media for his and his co-author's textbook has been used by 50,000 people for 3.5 million hours. During the presentation Dr. Thomas will consider differences in media, quality, maintenance, reliability, tracking, etc.

HANDS-ON SESSION (45 minutes)
Presenter: Victoria Hagni - Instructional Developer/Media Production Specialist; Missouri S&T
Audience: K-12 Education
Time and Location: 3:15 - 4:15 p.m.; Room 115
Having created hundreds of videos for faculty during her career at S&T, Miss Hagni invites K-12 teachers to participate in her launch of an online course for elementary and middle school aged students. Calling all creative minds, and those who believe in developing their students’ creativity, this course will focus on how to effectively craft a linear story and some of the foundational techniques for shooting video. During the presentation, Miss Hagni will show her first module of the course and then have participants try out their own storytelling techniques.
