Hi everyone,
Just in case you didn't see this on the ACRL Update, I'm sending it along to all
of you:
Call for Curriculum Designers/Presenters Open Educational Resources and Affordability
RoadShow
ACRL is accepting applications from prospective curriculum designers/presenters to create
and deliver a new ACRL RoadShow to support librarians in finding, using, and developing
open educational resources (OERs). This introductory level, day-long workshop will be
intended for academic librarians and library staff integrating OERs into their
institutions and developing OER initiatives. The curriculum designers will plan and
develop learning experiences for face-to-face and online learning intended to build
librarians' knowledge and use of open education practices. The in-person workshops
will be offered upon request on a licensed basis, as with the existing ACRL
RoadShows<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT04NDQwNTI3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0M…ml>.
In-person workshops may also be offered at ALA and/or ACRL Conferences. Additional online
offerings on open education would be part of ACRL's regular e-Learning program and
could include a multi-week asynchronous course and one or more topical webcasts of 60-90
minutes each in an interactive online classroom.
The application deadline is May 1, 2019. A selection committee with representatives from
the ACRL New Roles and Changing Landscapes Committee and ACRL staff will consider
applications and conduct telephone interviews. Applicants will be notified by June 1,
2019. Complete information is available on ACRL
Insider<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT04NDQwNTI3JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDc0MzE…ml>.
Sounds like an interesting opportunity.
