Join us for a faculty panel on textbook affordability during Temple Libraries’ celebration of Open Education Week, featuring instructors who have successfully reduced or eliminated textbook costs in their courses with the help of the Libraries’ Textbook Affordability Project grant.
Faculty panelists will discuss their experiences adopting open educational resources (OER), incorporating library-licensed materials, and redesigning assignments to minimize expenses for students. Attendees will hear real-world examples, learn about available campus support, and have time for Q&A to explore how they can make their own courses more affordable. 
Hear from our panelists: 
Erica D. Henn, Assistant Professor of Instruction, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Barnett College of Public Health 
José Pablo Barragán Nieto, Assistant Professor of Instruction and Director of Undergraduate Studies of Spanish and Portuguese, College of Liberal Arts 
Thomas S. Wright, Associate Professor of Instruction and Assistant Chair of Communication, Lew Klein College of Media and Communication 
The event will be moderated by Kristina De Voe, English and Communication Librarian. Light refreshments will be served.
