Open Educational Practices Institute for Part-Time Faculty

The OER Team at City Tech Library invites part-time faculty to apply for the January Open Educational Practices Institute (Chairs and full-time faculty, please recommend to your part-time colleagues!). The institute provides virtual training focused on using free, openly-licensed materials for courses, and foregrounding student-centered pedagogical approaches.

• Eligibility: Part-time faculty members at City Tech in any discipline with an active appointment are eligible to apply.
• Compensation & Commitment: Participants will be compensated with a $1200 stipend for a commitment of 20 hours of project work, including asynchronous and synchronous virtual training sessions. Faculty must be available to attend all four synchronous sessions to receive the stipend: January 9, 14, 16, and 21 from 10am-12pm. A final project – a redesign of a class activity or assignment using free and open resources – must be completed by Friday, February 14.
• Deadline: Please fill out the OEP Institute application by November 25.

If you have questions, please contact Joshua Peach, OER Librarian.
