The college does not offer financial incentives at this time, but we do provide technical support for the authorship, peer review, and adoption of open access textbooks. Our campus has an Open Educational Resources (OER) Initiative that is co-led by members of the library and the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center (TLTC) and has members from Academic Affairs, the Institutional Assessment office, and the Faculty Center. We collect and share data about textbook usage on campus, provide group and one-on-one consultations for faculty who want to adopt OER and open access course materials, and offer training and ongoing support for faculty OER textbook authors.
