Course:
PSYC 598: Positive Psychology
OER Project:
Custom compilation plus student-created test bank
Building the course:
“Creating an OER allowed me to pull together a bunch of different resources to build this course and provide different ways for student to experience the materials. I couldn’t have done it without all the support I received from KU Libraries.”
Student appreciation:
“I received the most amazing feedback from my students specifically about the open textbook; it was overwhelmingly positive. They liked the variety of information I was able to include and found that the updated examples made things a lot more interesting. It was nice to get feedback and know that the work I put into the resource was useful for my students.”
