Join a LASC Online Z-Degree Planning Cohort
Join us as we explore a pathway for a more equitable & affordable future for our students.
We invite probationary & tenured faculty to be a part of MSUM’s Affordable & Open Education Resources Group as we investigate a pathway towards reducing students’ textbook costs. We’re working to plan, develop, and create a cohesive path for a LASC Online Z-Degree (Zero Cost Textbook Degree). Your expertise is needed to shape this initiative.
Here’s what you can expect as a faculty participant:
Z-Degree Session on Liberal Arts Day (November 3rd, 11:15am)
Attend our Z-Degree session on Liberal Arts Day. If you can’t make it in person, an alternative recording will be available for your convenience.
Commitment deadline of November 10th: Sign up by November 10th, signaling your commitment to this project.
Mid-November Half-Day Workshop: Join in the planning process during a half-day workshop. Collaborate with fellow faculty members and experts to shape the Z-Degree pathway.
Two Meetings in January: Attend a check-in meeting and a proposal sign-off as we apply for the Z-Degree Implementation Grant.
In recognition of your time and contributions, faculty participants will earn 2 EDDs once the proposal is solidified in January.
