From a CreateFest to a finished product, this cross functional workgroup (faculty, instructional designers, librarians) from across the WTCS will share their process and insights from adapting and publishing a Medical Terminology textbook, creating a printable student companion guide, and developing a course shell for Canvas Commons for faculty to adopt. Learn how this workgroup thoughtfully picked a textbook that would not only benefit their students but dual enrollment students as well. They also proactively addressed many of the issues that we commonly hear about open educational resources: lack of instructor resources, low-fi/printable options, and non-LMS dependent quizzes.
