Seymour Library received a $94,678 grant from the Illinois State Library to encourage the creation the Open Educational Resources(OER) at Knox College. Our project is titled "Making the Liberal Arts Affordable and Innovative: OER Across the Curriculum." Faculty from Biology, History, Politics, and Mathematics will be writing and updating OERs during the 2024-2025 academic year and teach them in courses in 2025-2026. As part of the grant, we have hired Erin Stapleton-Corcoran, an instructional designer, to lead workshops on topics ranging from Universal Design to developing authentic assessments. More information on these workshops is coming soon.
