Has it been a while since the course you’re teaching was converted to Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) materials?  

Are you currently teaching a ZTC course, but would like to update it in a supportive and funded environment?  

Would you enjoy working with others to explore more about the wide world of open educational practices while updating your teaching materials?  

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then please apply to join our inaugural Open Course Refreshers Cohort!  Refreshers will meet four times on Zoom during the Spring Semester to expand their knowledge of open educational practices and open platforms and to explore newly released OER and ZTC materials for their courses.  During the final meeting, refreshers will openly license and share their newly refreshed ZTC course materials online and with their departmental colleagues.  Refreshers will also be expected to write two blog posts on the OE Blog.  Upon successful completion, refreshers will receive a $1,000 stipend.  

If you are interested, please complete this short application by March 4.  If you have any questions, please email the Open Education Coordinator, Shawna Brandle, at [email protected].
