Faculty creation and adoption of OER and ZTC materials can provide students with benefits that extend beyond no-cost or low-cost considerations. These materials can be the foundation of more culturally relevant classroom materialsthanstudents are used to seeing. They can increase the accessibility of instructional materials to students with disabilities. They can be employed to support student-centered learning ideas which upend traditionalnotionshow information flows between teachers and students. Using OER and ZTC materials has the potential to address many of the concerns about inequality that faculty and students alike have about the current educational model. Although OER and ZTC initiatives present opportunities for increased access and equity in the classroom, they do not inherently eliminate interlocking structures of oppression such as systemic racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and more.

Picking a Topic or Research Question IS ACTUAL RESEARCH and part of the research process. When you first pick a research topic, it isn’t set in stone. It’s just a general idea of something that interest you, that you will test with some exploratory research. If you like the results you are finding and it seems to provide answers to the questions you are trying to answer in your paper, then it looks like you can continue to find additional sources and start your paper. HOWEVER, if you are finding very limited results or too big a range of results, then now is the time to tweak your topic choice or even change it completely. This LibGuide will assist you through the 'Topic' selection process.
