Would you like to have a free textbook available to your students? The Open Textbook Workshop & Paid Review will be held on Thursday, November 18, 2021 from 2:00 – 3:00 via MS Teams. Presenter: Larry Sheret, Scholarly Communication & Open Educational Resources Librarian. 900 free open textbook titles are available from the Open Textbook Library. All participants who attend the workshop and submit a review will be awarded a $250 stipend. Faculty who already attended a workshop last year and Sept of this year are still eligible to register. In this workshop, faculty will learn the elements of an open textbook review, write a review of the textbook, and upload the review by Jan. 3, 2022 which will be posted online. Participants will need to find an open textbook to review from the Open Textbook Library prior to the workshop. The list of available books is found at https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks. There is no requirement or pressure to adopt a textbook although we encourage faculty to adopt open textbooks. Register for the Workshop at
