“We were very happy with the response to our call for participation,” said Senior Associate Dean of the Libraries Leslie Reynolds. “We look forward to seeing how these educators integrate open educational resources into their Spring 2020 courses and the impact on their teaching and the students’ learning experiences.”
Open CU Boulder aims to:
-
Encourage alternatives to high-cost course materials through OER adoption, adaption, or creation.
-
Encourage a teaching culture that explores new pedagogical models for learning.
-
Lower the cost of learning for students at CU Boulder.
-
Increase the number of students who have access to required course materials.
-
Increase the number of faculty advocating for OER.
This opportunity is sponsored by Open CU, a system-level project funded by a grant from the Colorado Department of Higher Education with additional support from CU Office of the President, CU Office of Academic Affairs, and the Office of the Provost. Open CU Boulder is coordinated by the University Libraries OER Leads Caroline Sinkinson, Merinda McLure, Melissa Cantrell, and Senior Associate Dean, Leslie Reynolds.
