a Virtual Session



Adopting and Adapting Open Educational Resources for Language Learning and
Teaching



Kelly Arispe

Boise State University



Monday, April 14th, 2025

5:00-6:00 pm

Online - Eastern US Time



Summary

In this talk, I explore how Open Educational Practices (OEP) empower
language educators to move beyond traditional textbooks and copyrighted
materials by adopting and adapting Open Educational Resources (OER). OER
are openly licensed materials that allow teachers to adopt and adapt them
while fostering collaboration, creativity, and equitable access to
high-quality resources. Drawing on my work with the Pathways Project—an
international network of K-16 language teachers who co-create, revise,
remix, and share over 900 language teaching activities—I will illustrate
how OEP has the power to transform language instruction.

Kelly Arispe is Launch Director for the School for the Digital Future and
Professor of Spanish in the Department of World Languages. As launch
director, she leads the development of the school's mission, vision,
values, and strategic goals and supports the vitality of existing and new
programs. Arispe regularly teaches upper-division Spanish courses in
Spanish linguistics in the department and was formerly Coordinator for
Teacher Education in World Languages. She defines herself as a
community-engaged scholar and is the Director of the Pathways Project, an
Open Educational Resource (OER) Repository that hosts over 900 activities
to support world language teaching for ten languages adopted and adapted by
teachers from primary, secondary, and university levels
