ACERT invites faculty interested in Open Educational Resources and Cost Reduction to a Teaching Scholarship Circle on Creating, Utilizing, and Assessing OER materials and courseware. We will share experiences and ideas from leaders in learning innovation, librarians, and faculty in various fields. We’ll also explore tools for creating and sharing your own open materials as well as free and low-cost course management systems, how to use existing material to reduce course costs, and how to assess the effect this has on student learning. Faculty with any level of experience are welcome.
Tuesday, January 8: Introduction and General Overview of Resources
We will meet each other and discuss everyone’s priorities, goals, and what they hope to learn from this series. Hunter College and CUNY Librarians (and ACERT leadership?) will also share some of the resources and assistance available to faculty.
