Celebrate Open Access week with us on Monday! Register at goto.unm.edu/oaweek!

Come explore the principles of openness and inclusivity and learn about ways UNM researchers are making education as widely available as possible through AI tools. This Open Access Week session, available to the public, will afford attendees the chance to learn about curriculum developed by University of New Mexico instructors to meet the needs of their students. This research project was tailored to support faculty and instructors across diverse disciplines to use AI for OER development. AI tools can empower educators and learners with tools to create, customize, and adapt open educational resources. Projects from this program include the development of case studies and assignments and even a chatbot tailored to beginner and intermediate Russian language learners. Members of the Graduate and Faculty Engagement team within the University Libraries will also be on hand to talk about this program and share content and ideas. Speakers for this event include University Librarians David Gustavsen and Jennifer Jordan and UNM faculty members Jeffrey Houdek, Irina Meier, and Xaver Neumeyer.
Refreshments will be served at the in-person event happening in the Frank Waters room 105 inside Zimmerman Library. Registration for this event is recommended.

We are recognizing faculty, instructors and graduate students on campus who are working on or have completed an Open Educational Resource (OER). OER helps to reduce the cost of textbooks and makes courses more accessible for all students.

This week we are recognizing Lisa Myers! Lisa Myers is a term lecturer for the Department of English Language and Literature. Lisa helped develop the UNM Core Writing Program English Reader. The UNM Core Writing Program English Reader was developed specifically for freshman writing classes at UNM and assists students in the transition to college academics through a genre-based approach to writing. This text also helps students develop an adaptable writing process as well as argumentation and research skills. Virtually all undergraduate students at UNM must take some combination of writing courses. With our previous textbook for freshman composition costing $64.99, the UNM Core Writing Program English Reader saves our freshman population around $200,000 a year.
