OER Reading List Academy
The OER Reading List Academy is a professional development opportunity that provides participating faculty with a $500 stipend and gives participating faculty the tools to reduce the cost of required course materials to their students through the use of the library's "Reading List" platform, library licensed resources and open educational resources (OER).
All OER Reading List Academy participants will: 
- Attend an introductory workshop that will teach basics of the library's Reading List platform and how to locate and use OER content.
- Create an online course materials list using the library's online platform (Leganto) for at least one course to be taught in the Summer 2024 or Fall 2024 term.
- Meet with a librarian for help locating library resources or OER for the course reading list.
- Meet with the Instructional Technology Librarian to review reading list functionality.
- Use the online course materials list in a course in the Summer 2024 or Fall 2024 term.
- Complete a student and instructor assessment of the the course materials list at the end of the course.
The OER Reading List Academy for Spring 2024 is now closed to new participants.
