OER Under the Hood: Supporting Scenario-Based and Role Play Learning

OER Under the Hood is a webinar series in partnership with OEGlobal where we go behind-the-scenes of various Pressbooks (into the authoring tool itself) for a deeper look at why and how these texts were made.

The Pressbooks sports car is driving to Australia, where we will open the hood on two OERs that were designed to support hands-on learning activities that take place away from the screens.

Diagnosis: a Medical Education Game from the University of Newcastle provides the resources for a board game designed to help medical students build and practice diagnostic skills through a game of solving clinical case studies. This OER includes guidelines for the game, 10 full case examples, printable game materials such as patient charts and test diagnostics, even links to 3d models for printing game pieces.

A similar style of learning activity is supported by Deakin University’s Workplace Role Play Scenarios. The OER includes fifteen role play activities in areas of Difficult Conversations, Negotiation, and Mediation. Each includes the role play instructions and the situation with specific role play guidelines for principal characters.

Join us on Tuesday, June 25th at 9:30am ACST/Adelaide time for our second webinar in the OER Under the Hood series (this will be June 24th at 8pm eastern for North America).

Attendees will have the chance to:

• Experience these texts as they are visible to the world AND their creators
• Get behind-the-scenes information on how they were designed and developed
• Experience live demos

This session will be recorded, so if you cannot make the listed time don’t worry! All registrants will be sent the recording.
