The LibreTexts team is happy to announce that this year’s annual LibreFest will be held virtually on July 18, 20, and 22, 2022. Sessions will begin at 9 am PST/12 pm EST. This virtual, hands-on workshop will provide three half days of teaching and working sessions covering how to create Open Education Resources (OER), how to modify existing OER to build textbooks and other learning resources, as well as how to use the new ADAPT homework system. Participants will be expected to prepare for the meeting in advance with materials provided by the LibreTexts team. By the end of the week all participants will have created, or adapted, an OER that can be used, or further modified for their future courses.
The registration fee for this workshop is $10 which includes a t-shirt.
Registration is now closed.
