Hi there fellow Open Educators, Attached is an infographic that you can use/modify if you are using an OpenTextbook in your class. There was a discussion on the CanadaOer group about the importance of students knowing that they are using an open textbook and why it is important. Then Christina from Montana State U Library created and shared this infographic which they use to "educate" their students. I thought I would share :) Cheers, Rosario [rosario.jpg] Rosario Passos Instructional Development Consultant (IDC) Learning and Teaching Centre British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) 3700 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3H2 Tel: (604) 456 1266 rosario_passos@bcit.ca<mailto:rosario_passos@bcit.ca> www.bcit.ca/ltc Education for a Complex World Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail ================================================================= Subject: RE: Practical "How to use this OER" info for students with new textbook? I agree with Jessica, that it is important for students to know the difference. I also found that the more they know, the bigger advocates for OER outreach to faculty they become. I started putting this infographic up in all of my class shells as well as in the syllabus packet. It has sparked some great conversations with students over the years.
