Beyond the textbook
Effective strategies for 
encouraging OER
from working with over 200+ colleges 
and universities on their OER initiatives
We = not me
(identify a 
leader)
A leader who is
• Respected by faculty
• Viewed as a peer by faculty
• Can dedicate 10+ hours per week 
to the initiative
The most effective leaders of OER 
efforts are teaching faculty members, 
and often co-chaired by library or 
teaching & learning.
Institution-Wi
de Initiative
• Administrators
• Librarians
• Instructional Support
• At least one Senior 
Administrator who is willing to 
regularly promote the 
initiative
• Bookstore
• Disability Services
• Students
Proactive 
and 
Persistent
Direct vs. Indirect Tactics
Direct tactics
Should result in one or more 
faculty members saying:
• Yes
• No
• I’m interested, tell me more

“An effective 
goal focuses 
on results, 
not activity”
Stephen R. Covey
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Measure outcomes, not actions
Outcomes
• # of faculty using OER
• # of students impacted by OER
• $ amount of savings to students 
($79.37 average)
• Student success (grades, completion, 
etc.)
Actions
• Holding a meeting
• Having a workshop
• Having a display
If a direct action isn’t resulting 
in new interest or adoptions, 
stop and refocus on actions 
that are working

Institutional 
Partner 
Program
Year-long intensive program with the 
goal of increasing OER use at each 
institution while protecting academic 
freedom. 
Applications are competitive. 40+ 
institutions apply for the 9-12 slots each 
year

One-way communication in your skin
My touch leaves you when you breathe
scribbles are my footprints you retrace
dusty dreams and wispy thoughts
You sigh, I sleep
waking, insomniatic
to another night of lethargy
another sulking afternoon,
my voice is your death
as I cling to your hand, the echo
of the abyss that separates us
Our findings, scattered,
through etchings, in journals,
unrequited sensations, shattered,
apologies parsed in the mix
I cry, you sob
the morning comes,
again, in your gaze, my haze
Drifting to your side,
tomorrow, today, anytime, anyway
unfamiliar, but intimate
I know it’s you
by your breath, the groans, the years
of melancholy on your face
replacements of space
now, then, a singular purpose,
Unite, and fall, together
my words quiver your throat, remain,
in the warmth of your arm, fading,
a tear

Fog drapes itself over Dem’s mind. It gushes, and expands itself like seafoam. As it enve-
lopes him, it gently coaxes him to sea with each forthcoming of its seductive curl. 
Dem descends deeper, and the depths consume his mind. They claim his submit form, 
each tug, towards the abyss. Sanity drifts from Dem’s lips as iridescent pockets of air 
ballooning up towards the fading surface. Reality totally escapes him, and he succumbs to 
himself.
Dem persists in the midst of indistinguishable and endless blackness that surrounds in all 
directions. Yet, inexplicably, he still discerns the space as visible. Unable to process it, he 
perpetually cycles through the same mental loop as his consciousness spins. As panic en-
sues, color manifests around him. Like a weak light that grows in strength with the pass of 
every moment, the colors illuminate the previously unseen. As if paint precisely, expertly, 
seemingly intentionally, pours onto blank canvas. 
The colors fill into shapes and a rigid metallic table arises from the void. The scent of 
formaldehyde temporarily overwhelms Dem’s senses as the great artist surrounds him 
with the scene: 
Walls were absent; strange diagrams seemed to be suspended in mid blackness. Shelves 
lined with countless unidentifiable chemicals propped themselves up atop ominous, in-
dustrial cabinets. A creaking light fixture hung from nothingness above a substantial center 
table, bathed in light. 
Dem drifts towards the center of the perceptible room but stops short. The colors reap-
pear, except differently. Airy hues swirl amongst each other just above the table’s surface. 
The wisps dissipate and reveal pale, nearly grey, sickly skin that covers the entirety of a 
motionless human form. The merciless, icy grip of the metal saps away Dem’s warmth as 
it presses against the naked laying body. Terrified, Dem traverses outside the light’s range. 
He searches for a discrete angle to view the withered body beneath the dingy yellow glow. 
He hopes he does not witness what he somehow already knows:
Electricity coursed through his core. Eyes bulged, chest seized, and he gagged. Before him 
lay his own disfigured apathetic expression: his eyes were gone, replaced by two crossing 
lines of stitching wire that formed a pair of X’s on his face; like a doll that failed to have its 
buttons sewed in. The flesh on his left side had been skinned away, and exposed each indi-
vidual piece of his rib cage. No sign of blood showed on his skeleton, as if that part of his 
body had been totally ensanguated. His horrific doppelganger still breathed, yet somehow, 
his body being alive did not come as a relief.

Contreras: When I'm Drunk In the Morning, She Sets the City on Fire
Published by DigitalCommons@COD, 2018
Dem possesses little time to recover from his disturb-induced paralysis. Colors brew, 
and colors churn again. A sturdy wooden door with a linear handle solidifies itself, and it 
turns. Dem scrambles, retreats behind a cabinet, and peers around the edge. An attractive 
form clothed as some sort of surgeon enters through the doorway, not dressed as one 
would expect them. He observes her as she crosses from the door to an opposite end, 
where a voluminous tub that matches the other equipment forms: 
Each step she took was matched with a click from pointed shoes. A white lab coat extend-
ed just above her knees, contrasted by black stockings tightly wrapped around long curved 
legs before they disappeared beneath her coat. Buttons teased, tightly pressed in on her 
chest, and streaked hair tied up and away revealed refined facial features. 
Dem struggles to register her identity. She clicks past him, and the scent of pine extract 
forces him to an unsettling epiphany: he stares at Lucy.
Liquid splatter reverberates off the tub from the other side of Lucy’s turned back while 
Dem attempts an instant of respite. He takes stock of himself, and finally understands. 
There is no escape from the bizarre: 
As he shifted his perspective about the room, he eventually landed upon where he should 
have found his own hands, but discovered nothing. He moved to where his legs should 
have supported him upright: only an empty void. He was utterly absent; no longer physi-
cal, devoid of all form. If it were even possible, he felt faint, swept into a dizzy haze. 
Space warps as Lucy saunters towards Dem’s deathly body exposed on the table. The 
distortion drags Dem’s disembodied consciousness forward and meets Lucy at the table 
as she arrives. Dem’s every movement is shackled, and his sight is manipulated by some 
unseen force to be fixated on his grotesque body as it decays amidst the grizzly scene. The 
same unseen force that now leaves him to the mercy of Lucy. 
Her predatory eyes invoke shivers as they probe his vulnerable anatomy and she, with 
a surgical mask, covers her candy lips. Agonizingly, tauntingly, she lifts her index finger 
and leisurely drags it along the gape in Dem’s torso, where nothing, save the white of his 
bones, remains. Dem’s consciousness suffers every moment of the unbearable stroke, he 
endures every sensation that should only transpire within the body. Lucy finishes, and her 
mask fails to conceal the twisted smile that stretches itself from behind it. Meanwhile, 
Dem’s mind pounds with the explosions of his body’s runaway pulse as he emits quakes of 
helpless and fearful anticipation.
Lucy reaches beyond Dem’s vision into the blackness beneath the table. When her hand 
returns, it carries a scalpel with a blade hone so precisely it draws blood with the lightest 
of touch. Dem’s breathing shortens to shallow, shaky breaths as Lucy lowers the flat edge 
of the razor to his skeleton, and she menacingly caresses each bone. 
Dem imagines beads of sweat rolling down his nonexistent form. He strains desperately 
to scream, or to avert his eyes from the unnatural feeling of precarious steel that prods the 
inside of his still living self, to no avail.

With concentrated and calculated viridescent eyes, Lucy lifts the blade, and places the 
fine tip at the onset of his twelfth rib and ever so slightly presses into bone. Searing fire 
courses through Dem’s veins, every nerve in his body commands every muscle to battle 
relentlessly against his invisible restraints and escape. His torture intensifies as Lucy 
carefully carves a hairline incision from one end of his limp, defenceless figure to the 
other. She completes it only just before Dem loses awareness. 
Dem recollects his scattered, incoherent thoughts. His energy dwindles, and still unable 
to look away, he studies Lucy’s face. The unassailable expression of release covers it, 
with sinister smile that betrays her intense pleasure. Lucy pulls her tool away from the 
living corpse. She stares at it with wide eyed approval before she locks it into a fanatical 
embrace. It is if, Dem thinks, she can writhe in those feelings forever. 
Her head snaps back to her victim. She tugs away her surgical mask, and forgets, at least 
for the moment, about her beloved instrument, when her expression curiously shifts. 
Her critical nature melts away to intrigue, and fanaticism gives way to affection. She 
calmly sashays to where Dem’s head is postured, but he can no longer observe her 
emotions. The sensation of a tender caress starts across his forehead. Bewildered, Dem 
attempts to maneuver himself in any way, in a vain hope to glimpse her, but remains 
cemented in place. He can only wonder about the suddenly altered person at the head of 
the table. 
With each gentle caress of parting hair he finds no solace, only the ominous feeling of 
prey groomed before the kill. 
The voluptuous shape of her lips forms on his forehead, and every hair on his body 
stands on end. Dem counts his breaths, inhales, exhales, deepens. He does anything he 
can in an effort to slow his accelerating heart, but it only takes Lucy’s whisper to bring it 
to a terrified halt:
“I love you.”
The scalpel plunges into the marrow of Dem’s third rib, the air instantly steals from his 
lungs, the yellow glow blazes to a blinding white, a high pitched screech envelopes all of 
his senses and then—
nothing.
Dem once again finds himself staring at the familiar surface of his bedroom ceiling, 
stunned. He lapses into a coughing fit, recovering after a moment of reminding himself 
to inhale. Shaken, he lifts a sweaty hand to the cell phone dimly illuminated beside his 
bed. He swipes across the screen a few times before arriving to the first picture. He lay 
there for a long while, pondering and staring at the only picture of Lucy he’d ever been 
allowed to take. His heart swells, and yet, his thoughts still make him shudder.
