The fellowship would offer training and a $2000 stipend for course leads, as well as a $500 stipend for faculty and adjuncts the first time they teach a section of a course using the zero-textbook-cost materials. We have had several successes with multiple section courses, including the creation of an OER lab manual for Biology under the guidance of Prof. Nathalia Holtzman, and the transition from an expensive homework system to a free, open-source alternative under the guidance of Prof. Chris Hanusa in the Math Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about how open educational\/zero cost resources support teaching and learning can be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/qc-cuny.libguides.com\/oer-ztc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guide to Open Educational Resources and Zero Textbook Cost<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about our fellowship program can be found on our <a href=\"http:\/\/oerfellowship.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OER Faculty Fellowships page<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If faculty have any questions or would like to learn more about OER, they are encouraged to contact our OER coordinator, <a href=\"https:\/\/library.qc.cuny.edu\/profile\/leila-walker\/\">Dr. Leila Walker<\/a>, Digital Scholarship Librarian at <a href=\"mailto:lwalker@qc.cuny.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lwalker@qc.cuny.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Library welcomes applications for the OER Faculty Fellowship program, now in its fourth year, for the 2021-2022 cohort!
