Dear Colleagues:
Skillman Library and CITLS co-sponsor the following event on Friday, March 2 at noon in the Gendebien Room; lunch will be provided.
Reducing Student Textbook Costs with Open Educational Resources
As Lafayette moves towards need-blind admissions, the Library is evaluating ways to encourage the use of Open Educational Resources (OERs) as a way to alleviate the financial burden textbooks place on students. Steven Bell, Associate University Librarian for Research & Instructional Services at Temple University will give some background on the OER movement and highlight the creation of Temple’s Textbook Affordability Project. Then Daniele Ramella, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Temple, will discuss his experiences incorporating OERs into his curriculum and the impact this had on student learning. Discussion and Q&A following the talk will highlight next steps we can take at Lafayette to build an OER program.
We hope to see you there!
