To celebrate Open Access Week 2020, some faculty participants in CSU's 2020 Textbook Affordability Summer Symposium recorded short videos to describe their experiences using open educational resources (OERs) and to provide advice for other faculty considering doing the same. These videos demonstrate the value of OERs for student achievement, as well as CSU faculty members' commitment to student success. These videos are online and can be viewed at any time.
October 20th, 10am-11:30am: Open Access Week Keynote Address & Panel Discussion: "Counting What Counts in Recruitment, Promotion, and Tenure". Elizabeth Gadd of Loughborough University, UK. What we reward through recruitment, promotion and tenure processes is not always what we actually value about research activity. This talk will explore how we can pursue value-led evaluations - and how we can persuade senior leaders of their benefits.
The Keynote will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the following panelists:
