This year has been more exhausting than any other year for educators. We've been asked to do much more than ever before and it's burning people out. Even our best teachers are considering different options. I certainly was.

STANDARD SESSION (45 minutes)

Presenter: James A. Newman - Associate Professor of Political Science; Southeast State Missouri University

Audience: Higher Education

Time and Location: 2:15 - 3:00 p.m., Room 101

The course, Politics of the 1990s, was designed with no template and required no textbook. One hundred percent of the course was taught with open educational resources. The course was taught as a capstone course to seniors with a political science major. The purpose of the paper is to discuss my approach to the course along with challenges, successes, failures, and recommendations as it related to the use of open educational resources in this setting.
