Healey Library and IT Educational Technology have joined forces to support faculty members that would like to adopt an open textbook or other OER content, and/or would like to create OER content to be used for their course.

Join Us

For an opportunity to learn more and meet the OER experts, please attend the following informative sessions in November and December 2017:

• Wednesday, November 15, Noon – 2:00pm | Campus Center 03-3215
• Tuesday, December 5, 10:00am – 2:00pm | Campus Center 03-3545

Meet the Team

These sessions will allow you to speak one-on-one with team members and learn how you can adopt content that is openly available (released under Creative Commons open licenses that allow use, re-purposing and distribution) and/or use content that we subscribe to already (not openly licensed, but free for the UMB community). The goal is to save money for our students and make education a little bit more affordable.

Our team of dedicated librarians and instructional designers are here to support you in your OER efforts.
