The Commons Book Launch

Tuesday, Oct 25th at 12:30 in the FCT&L

Please join EKU Libraries and the Department of English for the official book launch for EKU’s ENG 101 open textbook, The Commons. Dr. Jill Parrott and Dr. Dominic Ashby received a $5,000 Board of Regents Innovation Fund Alternative Textbook Grant to write this book. With an average annual enrollment in ENG 101 of approximately 2,500, this will save EKU's Book Smart program about $200k a year.

TLI: Adopting and Teaching with Open Educational Resources (OER)

Thursday, Oct 27 at 12:30 in the FCT&L and via Zoom - registration link

To learn more about using OER in your class, attend this TLI presentation by Library Faculty Innovator Kelly Smith. You don't have to write an entire book to be able to take advantage of the benefits of OER in your classes. Learn about those benefits and see some example ideas for teaching with OER.
