Open Educational Practices Assistant
The Penn State University Libraries Library Learning Services Department is accepting applications for an Open Educational Practices Assistant. The successful applicant will have the exciting opportunity to be a part of transforming education at Penn State. The assistant will collaborate with the Library Learning Services Department and a Penn State faculty member in a variety of disciplines on a program in which they will develop open educational resources (OER) that better reflect our student diversity and include marginalized voices and experiences historically absent within disciplinary discourses and commercially produced textbooks. The successful applicants will assist faculty with course materials creation, such as developing/adapting/revising course content and presenting that content in an appropriate open publishing tool. Duties include: Explore and gain expertise in open educational practices in order to expand agency in their own education. Develop research, writing, editing, technological, and other discipline- and project-specific skills related to creating and publishing accessible, inclusive educational content. The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusion that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity in society and nature, and engage all individuals to help them thrive. We value inclusion as a core strength and an essential element of our public service mission. Pursuant to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and the Pennsylvania Act of 1988, Penn State publishes a combined Annual Security and Annual Fire Safety Report (ASR). The ASR includes crime statistics and institutional policies concerning campus security, such as those concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. The ASR is available for review. Employment with the University will require successful completion of background check(s) in accordance with University policies.
