- UMKC Libraries’ research librarian and OER coordinator Scott Curtis was interviewed by the Kansas City Star. His Open Educational Resources guide is featured in the article and video. Our own open education and outreach librarian Grace Atkins partnered with him to make that guide, and they’re working together on the UM System’s Affordable & Open Educational Resources initiative. The A&OER grant program was announced today in an email from President Choi. Expect to see a great deal of publicity around this initiative.
