Pub101 for Authors is a new OEN program supporting open textbook authors. An open curriculum & weekly synchronous sessions explore topics including Accessibility, Project Mgmt, AI Considerations, & more.
“We gathered a lot of input about what authors would ideally take away from the experience,” says Karen Lauritsen, OEN senior director, publishing, "and as always, people were generous with their time and ideas about how to support OER creation.”
