You don't often get email from rsauls.flvc at gmail.com. Learn why this is important<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification__;!!DZ3fjg!8Coqfwh_Ib_5D8Hn-lrVhhsUnM0iChdw1gZ1iBkPIo4TLtvfalzZrE5G3rceE5-M9xR8JrtlTBcM7HtNSTNJAKUADyM$ >
Good Afternoon,



Fellow Open and Affordable Textbook Community Members we’re excited to open a call for interested individuals willing to contribute support or chapters for the follow-up edition of Marking OER Courses: Best Practices and Case Studies<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uta.pressbooks.pub/markingopenandaffordablecourses/__;!!DZ3fjg!8Coqfwh_Ib_5D8Hn-lrVhhsUnM0iChdw1gZ1iBkPIo4TLtvfalzZrE5G3rceE5-M9xR8JrtlTBcM7HtNSTNJBm9e9bA$ >.



To help higher education institutions across the country implement course marking for open and affordable educational resources this practical guide will provide case studies, overview relevant topics, provide tips for implementation, and review contributing factors to the process. The follow-up edition will expand to include state, consortium, regional, and even failed (as of today) attempts to implement textbook course markings.  In recognition of our wide-ranging efforts to reduce or eliminate textbook costs we are also updating the title to Textbook Course Markings: Best Practices and Case Studies.



We’re seeking individuals interested in being contributors to collaboratively develop chapters that analyze key considerations relevant to textbook course markings. Topics slated for exploration are listed below:

  *   Case Studies: Institution(s); State; Consortium/Compacts/Regional
  *   Policy, Regulation, and Legislation
  *   Collaboration and Community
  *   Platforms and Processes
  *   Communication and Integration
  *   Impact and Environment
  *   Challenges, Barriers, or Stressors
  *   Successes, Benefits, or Improvements
  *   Contributors are invited to propose additional chapter topics



Case studies should provide details on their specific course marking process. We encourage contributors to showcase their own experience and knowledge, even if OER course markings efforts failed or have not been fully implemented.



There is no minimum or maximum page requirement.

Please submit an Expression of Interest<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.office.com/r/1Da4yeiNpe__;!!DZ3fjg!8Coqfwh_Ib_5D8Hn-lrVhhsUnM0iChdw1gZ1iBkPIo4TLtvfalzZrE5G3rceE5-M9xR8JrtlTBcM7HtNSTNJzIJXugw$ > by July 5th.
