Faculty/Staff Workshop: What Are the Problems with Textbooks?

Why do students sometimes resist buying and reading textbooks? How is the landscape of textbook publishing changing, and how can we take advantage of new strategies and platforms to ensure that our students have access to high quality curricular materials? Come to this Open Access Week workshop to learn more about open educational resources! You’ll hear from faculty across the college who use these materials in their courses, and learn more about library resources and support for open educational materials.
Our workshop will be held on Wednesday October 23, 1-2pm in the Faculty Commons, Namm 227. RSVP to Prof. Maura Smale at msmale@citytech.cuny.edu.
This workshop is being offered as a part of Open Access Week (October 21-27). For more information about open access publishing visit http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/.
