Join your colleagues for the faculty workshop "Unlock Your Course" on Wednesday, April 5, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in Butler Library 314.

Course materials are an important path to course content for your students. But what if they can’t afford the textbook? Find out how to harness the "power of open" to break down barriers to course materials for your students. Open educational resources (OER) are designed to improve student engagement by ensuring day-one, no- or low-cost, continuous access to course materials.

Buffalo State faculty members are already breaking ground with initiatives in affordability and OER. At this workshop, you’ll hear from your colleagues at Buffalo State and from the new SUNY OER Services. Learn about best practices in OER adoption, and then receive hands-on support in opening a course of your own. Leave this workshop with practical skills in backward-design and OER adoption that you can bring to your course.

Space is limited; register soon.
