Open Educational Practices
A Presentation by Dr. Kelly Arispe
The UMBC Teaching English
to Speakers of Other Languages Program Presents
a Virtual Session
Open Educational Practices: Accessing Customizable
Digital Materials for Teaching and Learning to Augment Student Engagement
Dr. Kelly Arispe
Associate Professor, Boise State University
Monday, September 25, 2022
4:30 - 5:30 pm
Online - Eastern US Time
Summary
In this talk, I give a brief overview of what Open
Educational Practices are and how Open Educational Resources (OER) support
teachers looking to augment their curriculum with high-quality digital
materials. OER give teachers permission to localize materials to students’
needs and interests and can elevate diversity and inclusion that is often
missing from textbooks or curricula. I’ll showcase several examples of OER,
including the Pathways Project which is an OER K-16 community that I co-direct
and provides over 900 customizable language activities online for free.
Together, we’ll identify best practices integrated into two Pathways Project
activities. Finally, I’ll provide a handout with links to my favorite OER
repositories so you can integrate these into your (future) ESOL/EFL
classroom.
Dr. Kelly Arispe is an Associate Professor at Boise State University
where she teaches upper-division Spanish Linguistics courses and Teacher
Education courses in methods, literacy, and assessment for pre-service language
teachers. Her primary research focuses on L2 OER-enabled pedagogy (OEP) and
Computer and Mobile Assisted Language Learning. She is co-director of the
Pathways Project, an OER repository that hosts over 800 ancillary materials
that foster interpersonal speaking and intercultural competence.

Applications for the '23-'24 MLE Cohort can be found HERE.
The Multicultural Leadership Experience (MLE) is a collaboration between Campus Life and Initiatives for Identity Inclusion & Belonging (i3B), that seeks to:
Engage participants in a multicultural development and leadership learning program;
Enhance participants' understanding of their social identities, leader identity, as well as their capacity to lead;
And enable participants' development through authenticity, self-awareness, relationships, and capitalizing on difference.
The sessions are as follows:
- Monday, October 2nd, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, October 23rd, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, November 6th, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, November 20th, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, December 4th, 2023, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, February 5th, 2024, 3pm - 4:30pm
- No March Meeting
- Monday, April 8th, 2024, 3pm - 4:30pm
- Monday, May 6th, 2024, 3pm - 5:30pm (The Skylight Lounge)
***All sessions will take place in The Commons Lower Flat Tuesdays minus the last meeting in May***
Participants will be exploring the concept of Authentic Leadership, Legacy Building, and Breaking Barriers of White Supremacy within Leadership. We will do this in a leadership learning cohort by:
- Enhancing participants' leader identity and leadership capacity using an identity-conscious lens and student development theories;
- Increasing participants' awareness of their personal abilities, identity development, and intersections that shape their story through authenticity, self-reflection, and cultural humility;
- Exploring the role they play in developing relationships while building intra/intercultural connections;
- And capitalizing on their differences, specifically in relation to their racial, ethnic, national, and other salient identity social groups
The purpose of all MLE programs is to provide a space for students and student leaders who identify within diverse or marginalized backgrounds to discover their own capacity to lead, while also promoting a better understanding of their experiences, issues, strengths, and outcomes in navigating their own collegiate careers. However, ALL students are welcome to apply!

of real estate running down the center of the city―Lawrence T. Brown
reveals that ongoing historical trauma caused by a combination of
policies, practices, systems, and budgets is at the root of uprisings
and crises in hypersegregated cities around the country.

Undergraduate Researcher of the Week: Olivia Hutchinson
Childhood abuse and schizophrenia
Olivia is a senior majoring in Psychology and also a member of Psi Chi, the National Residence Hall Honorary Regent Scholar, and a URA Scholar.
Title of your research project:
Impact of Stress and Trauma on Learning and Decision-making in Psychosis
Describe your project:
For my project I am examining the connection between childhood abuse and performance on a learning task in people with and without schizophrenia.
Who is your mentor(s) for your project?
I have two mentors for my senior thesis, one at the MPRC, Dr. James Waltz, and one at UMBC, Dr. Raimi Quiton. I met Dr. James Waltz when I got an email from UMBC's Psychology Department that the MPRC was looking for an intern to work in the IDRIS lab. I wanted to work for Dr. Waltz because he does neuroscience and psychology research. I formally met Dr. Waltz in the second round of interviews. I met Dr. Quiton when I was looking for someone to sponsor me for my Psych 397 research credit for research I was doing in translational toxicology at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine. We were introduced through Dr. Etopio who had sponsored my 398-internship credit the semester before. After deciding to do a senior thesis I asked Dr. Quiton to be my UMBC mentor because we already had a connection and she also does neurobiological and psychology research.
How did you become interested in this project?
I have always been interested in the impact of childhood abuse and neglect across a person's lifetime. This interest, as well as my position working in a lab studying schizophrenia, ultimately led to my decision to study the intersection of these topics. Over time, I became more interested in specific questions such as the differential impacts of childhood abuse and schizophrenia on win-stay and lose-shift responses within the task as I became more acquainted with the task.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher?
The hardest part of my research has been listening to clinical interviews and scoring questionnaires. Many people with psychotic disorders like schizophrenia have experienced trauma in their lives that you learn about through interviews and questionnaires. I want to research child abuse because I love children and I want to help and protect them. It hurts to know what the many study participants have gone through, especially when they were children.
What has been the most rewarding part?
The most rewarding part of doing research for me has been working on projects that I know are going to help patients and in being a part of someone getting help for their mental illness. The people at the MPRC really care about everyone that comes into the center, even those who are coming in as controls.
How will you disseminate your research?
I am planning on publishing my senior thesis as well as presenting it in a poster URCAD and at UMB's research day. I will also be presenting this research at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Research in Psychopathology in St. Louis, Missouri.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
Don’t be afraid to be told no. All no means is no, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. If you see something you want, ask for it. If you see someone doing research you want to be doing, ask them if you can be a part of it. It’s much easier to get a position that was created for you than it is to apply to the position 100 people are applying for.
What are your career goals?
Currently, I am applying to clinical psychology doctoral programs that focus on neuropsychology. It's rare to be accepted directly out of Undergrad, so I will likely take up a full-time research position after I graduate and apply again next year. I want to work with children with traumatic brain injuries as a result of abuse and neglect and research/ develop treatment plans to help them regain functioning.
