This guide will help you:
Are you an instructor who is concerned about the impact of high textbook costs on your students?
Students are already facing new hardships due to a rapidly increasing cost of living, illness and unemployment. This is the right time to make changes to your course materials that enable students to manage their budgets.
Attend the Virtual OER Review Workshop and learn more about OER in your field. After the workshop, if you write a short review of an open textbook from the Open Textbook Library, you’ll receive a $200 stipend. You also have the option of reviewing OER not in the Open Textbook Library for a $300 stipend (you may need to use multiple resources or consult with a librarian to find a curriculum that adds up to a whole term of content coverage).
Workshops are:
Are you interested in making your course materials relevant and accessible for all of your students? Do you wish that your course materials incorporated and supported the voices and experiences of your actual students? Are you concerned about the cost of commercial course materials that don’t support equitable student learning? Join a statewide 2-part Equity and Open Education Faculty Cohort.
Participants will earn a $200 stipend upon completion of “Part 1 – Explore” and will have the option to earn an additional $300 stipend in “Part 2 – Implement.”
**To indicate interest in participating, please submit a registration form by Friday, June 13.**
