Introduction to OER Adoption Virtual Workshop 

October 18, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

This virtual workshop on Friday, October 18 from 12:00-1:30 pm will introduce faculty to open textbooks — a type of open educational resource (OER) — and the benefits these textbooks offer: affordability, pedagogical practice, student learning, and engagement. Faculty are then invited to engage with open textbooks by writing a brief review of a book in the .

Several 51ÁÔÆæ courses use Open Textbooks, removing textbook cost as a barrier to student success. For more information about 51ÁÔÆæâ€™s Open Textbook and OER initiative, see the .

.  Please use this form to RSVP by Wednesday, October 16.
