Teaching Tip: Open books

March 4, 2014

In this week's Teaching Tip, learn more about open education resources, specifically open textbooks, peer-reviewed materials and materials shared under a creative commons license. Your students (and you!) don't have to spend money to obtain current, peer-reviewed data. What would it look like if a course in which you are involved had no books or if the materials were free? It’s not too late to make a change. If you’re an instructor teaching this fall, your course materials list isn’t due until mid-March. Read more: http://elearning.uaf.edu/go/tt-openbooks/.
