PGCC and the LibreTexts Development team members will host an online workshop to help new users of LibreTexts incorporate the Open Education Resource (OER) platform in their courses.  This workshop will have two tracks:  one focusing on new OER users, and one for those who are trying to build upon their existing OER experience.

Whatever the reason for your interest, this three-hour workshop will give you a chance learn about LibreTexts in time to use it in one or more of your courses this spring. 

In these hands-on workshops you will:

Dr. Karsten Theis is a professor of Chemistry at Westfield State University in Massachusetts. Dr. Theis discovered LibreTexts in 2017 after he adopted the OpenStax Chemistry textbook and was looking for an easy way for students to access portions of the text without having to download the entire book.

Thanks to the success of LibreFest 2020 earlier this year, the LibreTexts team is already hard at work planning the next installment which will run right before the OpenEd 20 conference, from November 4-6. Registration is free.

Dr. Kate Plass, Professor of Chemistry at Franklin & Marshall College, found herself Googling resources for students in her general, inorganic, and materials Chemistry courses to use in place of expensive texts when she ran across the LibreTexts Chemistry library. What began as a search for materials for her students to use became a desire to contribute to the growing collection of OER in Chemistry.

Greetings, LibreTexts followers. Welcome to our new faculty profile series. For our first installment we'd like to introduce you to Professor Kristin Kuter, Associate Professor of Mathematics & Computer Science at Saint Mary’s College in Indiana.

In light of the recent protests surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement, we at LibreTexts are compelled to lend our voice to support the thousands of peaceful protestors taking to the streets across the country in order to initiate long overdue changes regarding how society treats our communities of color.

The LibreTexts team is proud of the progress our project has made since its inception 15 years ago. Since then, it has grown to become the most popular Open Education Resource (OER) textbook project on the net with over 500,000 pages of freely-accessible content, over 800 textbooks on our Bookshelves, and many more customized texts in our campus Course Shells. We regularly add new interactive features and are proud to provide increased accessibility of our resources to better support the academic community.
