Open Educational Resources Survey
The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is interested in learning more about the use of Open Educational Resources on campus.

Open Educational Resources are resources that are either free or extremely low-cost for everyone, are accessible to all, and are openly-licensed, meaning they do not require a library or department to pay for their use. 

Whether you use them in your course(s) or not, please take this short five-minute survey to help us gain more information about OERs.

Please provide as much information as possible in your responses, as there is a question at the end of the survey that asks if you have any interest in participating in a pilot OER program (that includes a stipend) in the future.

Submit a Proposal for the 2021 LTDC Virtual Showcase!
Calling all Parkside faculty and staff! Please consider submitting a proposal to present at this year’s LTDC Virtual Showcase, a professional development opportunity to support your career growth and achievement. The UW System Learning Technology Development Council (LTDC) is committed to providing you with opportunities to showcase how you have transformed teaching and learning in the very unpredictable environment that we have experienced during the past year.
 
Proposals are invited around the following tracks: 
  • Student Experience and Success
  • Online Instructional Pedagogy
  • Leveraging Learning Technology
  • TechTalks
 
Please see the attached Call for Proposals document for session information and proposal details. 

Proposals are due Friday, April 16, 2021. Please also visit our website for Keynote speaker profiles and an FAQ. Further information on the schedule will be posted on this website soon.
 
The proposal submission form is available online. The showcase will be held on June 15th and 16th; make sure you save the dates!
Online Course Developers Workshop Applications - Still Open Seats
If you had applied to be part of the Online Course Developers Workshop for the summer of 2021, please email Innovations@uwp.edu as soon as possible to confirm your application.

The Teaching & Learning Center email distribution list changed hands in October and unfortunately, existing applications were lost in that transition window. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and want to ensure participants are notified of their acceptance well in advance of the mid-May start date.

Note: If you had not applied originally but are interested in participating in the workshop this summer, you can also submit an application. There are still vacant seats available. (The workshop will be fully online this year with zero in-person participation required.)

The deadline to apply is Friday, April 16th at 4:00pm.
