Interested in learning more about Open Educational Resources (OER)--what they are, why we should  care about them, and what the Library is doing to support their use? This workshop is intended for those looking for open alternatives to traditional materials or for those hoping to learn more about the possibilities of open education. We’ll review how using these resources reduces student costs, can improve student success, and gives faculty control over their class resources. We’ll discuss the statewide mandate for affordability in higher education and what we know about student need at UVA. In addition, we’ll cover how faculty can review an open textbook from the Open Textbook Library and receive renumeration for that effort.  Please join us! Facilitated by: Judy Thomas & Bethany Mickel
