OER Initiative - Call for PTX Support

[Benjamin Atchison]

Hello PreTeXt Community,

CA-ROTEL is a MA initiative to develop ancillary materials for high enrollment general education courses this summer.  The initiative is a continuation of a prior grant that utilized a less-optimal platform for authoring and hosting.  This time around, I am working as part of the leadership team and am doing my part to present PreTeXt and GitHubPages as the preferred authoring and hosting platform for participants.

This post is a call to anyone in the PTX community with considerable authoring experience who might also be interested in supporting the grant's participants.  If anyone is interested in helping out, please either reply to this thread or message me directly by 4/14.  We are looking to find someone who can be remotely available for a portion(s) of a three-day summer workshop for participants running 6/10-6/12.

Thanks.

-Ben

Hi Everyone.

An update to an old post.  We had 15 faculty take part in a PreTeXt working group at Framingham over the course of the Spring 2026 semester.  Supported by Oscar, a work study, and myself, 10 faculty were able to successfully create a syllabus and sample item for their courses.  The group included 5 STEM faculty, 4 from Arts and Humanities, and 1 from the Social Sciences.  The finished products can be found here.

Love it! That is really nice. Congratulations on making that happen.

Note to self: we should link to that from Examples at the PreTeXt site.
