We invite you to join over 300 of your colleagues who are teaching their courses with no cost materials!
This OER/ZTC* learning community provides a foundation for redesigning courses with no-cost materials that provide significant pedagogical and financial benefits to our students. Redesign activities will be grounded in pedagogical conversations with colleagues, and participants will apply backward design as they create learning experiences with no-cost materials.
Asynchronous activities, including readings and reflections, will complement Zoom sessions held on Tuesdays (June 6, 13, 20, 27) and Thursdays (June 8, 15, 22, 29), 11:30am-1:00pm.
Apply by 12pm on Tuesday, May 9, using this application form. Faculty selected to participate will receive a $1000 stipend for redesigning a course with OER and other no-cost materials and teaching at least one section as a zero textbook cost (ZTC) course.
This learning community is part of the ongoing OER/ZTC and open pedagogy initiative at both CUNY and SUNY ) funded by the NYS Department of Education.

* Open educational resources (OER) and other no-cost resources, such as library materials, make it possible to teach zero textbook cost (ZTC) courses.
