From Classroom to Cosmos: Collaborating to Build an Engaging Orbital Mechanics OER
Friday May 30, 2025 10:10am - 10:40am MDT
Room 2300 - 2nd Floor
When faculty expertise meets student creativity, innovation takes off! Dr. Lynnane George, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCCS launched an open educational resource (OER) project in 2018 to develop free learning materials for her Space Mechanics class. Over five years, it grew into An Introduction to Orbital Mechanics, an engaging, interactive textbook published on Pressbooks.Dr. George curated content, wrote detailed explanations, and ensured academic rigor while keeping it accessible. Students played a vital role, conducting research, developing example problems, and creating visual aids. To enhance clarity, the team collaborated with Technical Communication and Information Design (TCID) students under Professor Baye Herald, making the textbook more engaging and student-friendly.Now, Dr. George and TCID student Evangela Dudeck will share their journey in an interactive workshop, revealing challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons learned in creating this dynamic OER textbook. Don’t miss this inside look at reshaping education through collaboration! 🚀
