The Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) is a research and development group based in Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. In 2014, we set out to develop short assessments to gauge young people’s ability to evaluate online content. Our work was supported by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, and the Silver Giving Foundation. Specifically, we sought to measure Civic Online Reasoning — the ability to effectively search for, evaluate, and verify social and political information online. We use this term to highlight the civic aims of this work. The ability to evaluate online content has become a prerequisite for thoughtful democratic participation.

However, problematic issues new and old still have to be addressed. This handbook explores many of these topics for new and experienced designers alike, whether creating traditional online courses, open learning experiences, or anything in between.

You have designed your OER content, but that’s only part of the picture. You have that vision in your head of how that content should play out in the classroom: the collaborative work and associated grouping strategies, the prompting questions you plan to use in synchronous classes or discussion boards, literacy strategies for discipline-specific vocabulary, rubrics, and more. You have also anticipated student thinking and are ready to adapt to their unique paths through the lessons. Support future faculty in making your content come alive in their classrooms as well. Template provided for you to adopt or adapt to communicate your intended lesson design.

In this workshop, Anthony Palmiotto and Sonya Bennett-Brandt of OpenStax will cover how to tap into community support when improving upon your OER and building entirely new resources. They will outline steps to take to set up recurring peer review and how to find feedback and help across the education landscape.
