Using Open Educational Materials in Your Courses

Tuesday, October 25, 2011
3:30-5:00pm
Rm A543, City Tech Library (Atrium Building)

High-quality open access curricular materials are increasingly available online, and can provide an alternative to traditionally-published, high-priced textbooks. In this workshop we’ll discuss strategies for incorporating freely-available open access and public domain resources into your courses. Bring your syllabus or assignment and we will work together to add resources to your course website on Blackboard, the City Tech OpenLab, or other online platforms.

Coffee & cookies will be served.

Open Access Week is October 24-30 – learn more at http://openaccess.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Open Access Happy Hour: Your Rights as an Author

Wednesday, October 26, 2011
5:30-7:00pm
Rm A632, Faculty Lounge (Atrium Building)

You know what you write, but do you know your rights? Copyright is a bundle of rights that apply to work you produce in any medium. How can you choose a publisher and negotiate your contracts to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, author, and creator? Come enjoy wine & cheese with your colleagues and learn how to preserve your rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work you create.
