Open Textbooks and Student Success: An Open Textbook Library Perspective
by Green & Gold News |
Want to learn more about Open Education Resources (OER)? And be PAID for reviewing an open textbook in YOUR field?
Join the UAA Textbook Affordability Committee for Open Textbooks and Student Success: An Open Textbook Library Perspective. This faculty workshop focuses on understanding students’ financial predicament and its impact on their academic success. In this workshop, the Open Education Network (formerly Open Textbook Network) will introduce faculty to open textbooks and the benefits they can bring to student learning and faculty pedagogical practice. The workshop will highlight one OER repository: the Open Textbook Library (OTL). Faculty are invited to engage with open textbooks by writing a brief review of a textbook in the OTL following the workshop.
To be awarded $200 by the Consortium Library, participants must:
- Register and complete the 1-hour asynchronous training before 12 p.m. AKST on Oct. 16, 2020
