Celebrate Open Education with OER Week
March 1-5 is OER Week! This is a chance to share and learn about the latest developments and accomplishments in Open Education worldwide. There is also a lot happening with OER at our local level. This year the Open and Affordable Course Materials Program continues to support faculty with some additional grant support from the Tennessee Board of Regents. Here are a few ways you can learn more and get involved with OER:

  • Information Workshops will be offered to faculty to learn how they can participate in the TBR grant funded OER Initiative. Workshop participants will be eligible to receive a $250 stipend for attending the workshop and completing a survey. Monday, March 22, 11:30-1:00 PM or Tuesday, March 23, 3:00-4:30 PM. Apply to attend the workshop today!
  • Our other statewide colleagues at THEC are sponsoring a series of webinars on OER open to all faculty across Tennessee. This is a great chance to learn more about OER and see colleagues across the state are working on.
  • Contact us, see more details here.
Thank You!
Since 2018, ETSU has supported 20 faculty and 6 departments with almost $60,000 which has resulted in textbook savings over $275,000 to students. We join students, fellow faculty, staff and administrators in thanking these faculty and departments for their work with OER!
