University Libraries is pleased to invite CU Boulder educators to apply by July 1 to participate in a Course OER Adoption Initiative. All educators with academic year 2019–20 paid appointments, including instructors/senior instructors, temporary/permanent faculty and graduate part-time teaching instructors, are invited to apply.

Selected participants will adopt an open educational resource (OER) and integrate it into an existing spring 2020 undergraduate course. Integrating the OER may result in course materials costs savings to students, afford the educator new pedagogical possibilities and inspire the educator’s thoughtful redesign of content sequencing or course assignments.

Participants will be awarded a $1,000 stipend upon completing their successful OER adoption and course integration and submitting a portfolio by May 31, 2020, that documents the integration and evaluates the course. 

Learn more and apply by July 1, 2019.

Are you interested in learning about improv? Do you like environmental science?

Join the Improv + Science Workshop at the CU Museum of Natural History! The workshop takes place from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 11. 

About the workshop

The workshop will bring together local high school students and CU Boulder undergraduate/graduate students studying environmental science to learn about improvisational theater and how the principles of improv can foster communication and collaboration in science. Students will learn and perform improvisational theater games and scenes in the context of environmental science.

Improv requires the communication skills (e.g., listening, responding, storytelling) that are beneficial to engaging with others in science, particularly in collaborating to develop research ideas. We believe this is an innovative way to teach young people and have them practice these skills as they learn about environmental science topics. And…it’s fun!
