ABSTRACT
This resource was created based on discussions and engagement with faculty, instructors, graduate students, and research assistants at Brock University in Fall/Winter term of 2024. It is meant to provide guidance to support instructors who may be thinking of using open educational resources (OER) in their classrooms, but want to support inclusive adoption of these resources and in turn inclusive and open pedagogy in OER use. Each chapter provides context from discussions as well as embedded links to examples of these accessibility considerations in practice in open resources. Each chapter can be used as a stand-alone resource on a topic connected to accessible OER adoption, and the concluding chapter provides prompts in the form of questions to expand one’s open practices to include accessibility in educational choices.Each chapter focuses on aspects of accessibility such as social justice, sustainability, language, embedded tools, and more significant institutional priorities to support reflective practices and guidance on areas of accessibility that may be forgotten in OER adoption. This resource can help support advocacy for change around accessibility by providing tangible examples and next steps towards more inclusive sharing and creation of resources.
