We invite you to join over 370 of your colleagues who are removing barriers for students by teaching their courses with no-cost materials!
This OER/ZTC* seminar 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, as we create learning experiences with no-cost materials.
Zoom sessions, which will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 – 3:30 pm, in June, will be complemented by asynchronous activities, including readings and reflections. Applicants should be available on:
- Week 1: June 2 and 4
- Week 2: June 9 and 11
- Week 3: June 16 and 18
- Week 4: June 23 and 25
Apply by Monday, April 20, at 5pm, 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 open education initiative at both CUNY and SUNY, funded by the NYS Education Department. For questions or more information, email oer@bmcc.cuny.edu.
* Open educational resources (OER) and other no-cost resources, such as library materials, make it possible to teach zero textbook cost (ZTC) courses.
