Our ADAPT homework system is in the spotlight this month as a key component of the OpenStax Microbiology Ancillary (OSMA) ADAPT Project lead by Ying Liu of City College San Francisco (CCSF) and her team. The original project was funded by the ASCCC OERI and includes 9 instructors from California and Hawaii. The team's first order of business was to create a Canvas shell that included question banks and case studies.

Delmar Larsen, Josh Halpern, and Justin Shorb returned to the Biennial Conference in Chemical Education (BCCE) at University of Kentucky after a four-day series of expo days, talks, and three workshops.

We are excited to announce that we have not one, but two new members of the LibreTexts team joining us this month. First up is our new Director of Curriculum Innovation and Development, Justin Shorb. Justin was previously a member of the LibreTexts team and is responsible for co-organizing the very first LibreFest workshops. He is passionate about curriculum and OER, and is excited to bring his expertise back to the LibreVerse. In his own words:

ADAPT, the open homework system within LibreTexts, allows users to build formative and summative assessments using WebWork, H5P, or Native QTI. It is also possible to create accessible alternatives to questions and assessments. Faculty are continually developing and sharing new questions and activity types, so the way in which you can assess your students’ learning is endless.
