“…Both beneficially enhance student learning and motivation. We are involving students in the early stages of developing process and the IT scripts for faculty and students to use in updating OER materials [4]. This automation aims to give more meaningful tasks of curating materials to humans and more mechanical tasks of, e.g., link and document creation, to machines; so that this process is a quality learning and user experience for our students.…”

This SIGITE Big Idea in IT Education talk explores students doing class assignments and/or using automating scripts to update open education resources (OER) in information technology (IT) courses. In SIGITE we have long discussed OER-based IT courses replacing textbook-based courses [1,2] and identified a challenge of keeping the course material current. In a traditional textbook-based course, the author and publisher take care of updates, but, OER-based courses most often put that responsibility on the local course designers and/or instructors. Spreading this workload to involve students has two benefits: 1) reducing costs and faculty workload, and 2) increasing students' lifelong learning skills. Automating the mechanical parts of update makes a better user experience and a student-centered educational process.
