Title: No Book, No Problem: OER for IVC's Bookstore Transition, 8-Week Courses, ZTC Pathways, and More

When: Saturday, October 25, 9:00am-noon

Who: Teaching Faculty (FT & PT) with at least one non-ZTC course

With changes at IVC ranging from the transition of our Bookstore from physical to virtual, the expansion of eight-week courses, and the challenge of offering Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) courses and pathways, there has never been a better (or more crucial!) time to implement Open Educational Resources (OER) in your classes! In this Saturday Session, held at the Teaching & Learning Center and facilitated by OER Coordinator Cerise Myers, you'll learn:

What's happening with IVC's Bookstore and what those changes mean for students and faculty
How to use Follet Discover for ordering textbooks, and the new Materials & Schedule Attributes (XB12) form
How OERs can help your students hit the ground running
Finding OERs, vetting them, and making them available to students
Options for getting paid for OER projects

Faculty who attend the session and submit a Mini Needs Assessment/Plan for Implementing OER will be paid $225 (three hours at the non-teaching rate). Coffee and snacks provided!
