Leading from the Classroom: Accelerating adoption of instructional technology and open resources

Open textbooks, open classes, open resources...with so many options and so many places to search for gems to use in our classrooms, the task of selecting those resources that are most relevant to your discipline and your students can seem daunting. The faculty who developed courses for the Washington State Open Course Library did much of this work for you - if you teach one of the 42 courses developed in Phase I (details and list of courses). Phase II will kick off next month and will result in the development of an additional 39 courses.

Still, how do you develop the skills of searching and sorting and selecting the best resources for your courses? We've created a day-long workshop to give you the tools for succes and an opportunity to practice these skills with assistance from tech-savvy faculty from across Washington State.

If you are a Washington State faculty member, please consider registering for a Leading from the Classroom workshop.
