Presentation Abstract: Creating an OER requires multiple types of labor. This presentation adds a relational view of these labors, reframed as vulnerabilities, including (a) personal examples, (b) controversial positions, (c) becoming known in their field as a maker and user of OER, and (d) navigating obligations to others’ intellectual properties. Presenters will share examples of noticed vulnerabilities while writing an OER and participants can share their stories, questions, and wonderings.
