The University Library invites applications for participation in the pilot Open & Equitable Course Materials Community of Practice. If you struggle to get your students to read for class or find that you have to supplement your textbook a lot to make it work, this Community of Practice is for you! Receive $2,000 in funding, a project budget, and support from librarians and your peers to transition one of your modules or chapters to Open Educational Resources (OER). OER can be legally customized by instructors and this year-long program will focus on customizing materials within an equity lens.

This information session will provide more information about the program and answer any questions that faculty have about eligibility. benefits, or potential projects. Please use this form to register in order to recieve the Zoom link. E-mail Sarah Hare (sehare@ucsc.edu) with questions.
