What else has student advocacy accomplished?<\/li>\n<li>Students creating OERs: I will speak about work I know of here at UBC where students are creating OER, including Wikipedia projects and also other open educational resources. What else is out there?<\/li>\n<li>Students contributing to open textbooks: Yes, open textbooks are OERs, but I&#8217;m separating them out here just for now. I know that <a href=\"http:\/\/robinderosa.net\/uncategorized\/my-open-textbook-pedagogy-and-practice\/\">Robin DeRosa has involved students in creating open textbooks<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coerll.utexas.edu\/student-authored-textbooks-in-the-language-classroom\/\">this blog post<\/a> from the Conversations on Open Education for Language Learning blog talks about a couple more (by students in classes with David Wiley and Lixun Wang).
