ALPA OER Repository: This repository is a six-month pilot project of PALCI and Affordable Learning PA to evaluate the value, cost, and community's ability to sustain a centrally managed Hyku repository of locally-adopted, adapted, or created open educational resources and other no- or low-cost course materials. Here you'll find materials created or selected for use in the PA Grants for Open and Affordable Learning (PA GOAL) program, including OER that was newly developed by faculty in Pennsylvania institutions of higher education.

Featured Researcher
Name: Jennifer Schneider
Title: Assistant Professor, Paralegal Studies
Institution: Community College of Philadelphia
Notable contributions to Affordable Learning: Paralegal studies instructors have few choices when choosing textbooks and other course resources for students. Conventional materials are limited, costly, copyright-protected, and tend to feature voices, authors, and cases reflective of long-standing challenges and biases that have persisted in judicial and educational systems. In addition, most are aimed at law students rather than paralegal studies students. Within this context, Jennifer has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to improving access and engagement in her field by developing OER for several courses. Her OER include The Feedback Bank, the Feedback Finder Chrome extension, and a legal case brief repository, which are used in courses on Paralegal Studies, Legal Technology, Legal Internship, and Intellectual Property Law. She is a PA GOAL Grant recipient.
