It is finally here, Open education Week at OU. We missed the official Open Education Week – which was March 10th -14th. We really wanted to work with the OU History of Science Department on their Women In Science Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, so we are celebrating open education this week.
We have a lot of great (hopefully) plans. This is our first big OpenEd week at OU, and this is the first time the Libraries are hosting the events. Here’s what we have on tap
Presentation: HTML-based eBook for Engineering Solid Mechanics – Dr. Kurt Gramoll’s presentation covers creating a specialized platform and content to support student in his engineering courses, providing students a free textbook for his courses
