Transforming from a commercial textbook to free and open educational resources allows day-one access for all students, encourages course retention, and saves students money.

Affordable Learning Georgia will be providing a free introductory workshop to any interested USG faculty and staff on open educational resources (OER), open textbooks, open licenses such as Creative Commons, and the pedagogical and instructional issues required to transform your commercial textbook into no- or low-cost resources in Athens at the UGA Center for Continuing Education on Thursday, April 9th from 12:00 to 5:00. The workshop will begin with a joint lunch with the USG Teaching and Learning Conference; while offered in conjunction with the conference, the workshop can be attended as a stand-alone event.

Price: Free for USG faculty and staff, limited number of seats available.
