Greetings!

In May 2017 there was a post here about reassigned time being used as incentive for faculty to adopt OER for their courses. I have been working on an internal OER grant proposal which will provide incentives for faculty 1.) to adopt OER with little/no revision required, 2.) to adapt existing OER which requires a moderate amount of revision/editing/remixing, or 3.) to create OER if no suitable existing OER in sufficient quantities can be identified. I have seen many stipend models for a tiered OER incentive program like this, but am less familiar as to how other institutions might tier reassigned time depending on the complexity of an OER project.

I would appreciate any input you might have as to how much reassigned time would be appropriate for the three tiers mentioned above. Certainly a faculty member who is creating OER from scratch would need much more time than faculty who have found a suitable existing OER textbook that requires little to no re-working. Additionally, if you have any input as to how many semesters should be given for faculty to embark on such projects, I would appreciate that as well. What are your institutions doing as far as reassigned time and over how many semesters?

(Thank you to Dr. Page Wolf from College of Lake County who has already provided me with some information.)

Thank you for your consideration, and I wish you a peaceful holiday season!

Best Regards,

Hi Rachel,

This is a great question, and I'll be following this thread because I haven't seen this information before either.

You might find some relevant info in the LOEL report that was recently published. Quill West at Pierce Community College asked faculty and librarian collaborators to self-report on their estimated weekly time spent on different tasks related to their grant projects. The numbers are an estimate, but they were submitted each week while memories were still fresh. You can find the info here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NzjguflBLny_dXErmSdgDP0_LIghHZ7M/view (details about time spent are under "Theme 1: Time").

I hope this helps,

Amy

Rachel,

I will also try to follow up with our grant recipients to see if the release time they were given was sufficient.
