The University Libraries and CU Boulder Student Government are pleased to recognize Nikolaus Correll and Alan Mickelson as recipients of the 2022 Open Educator Award at the University of Colorado Boulder. Both associate professors were selected to receive this award for using open educational practices in their teaching. Correll, an associate professor in Computer Science, Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and Aerospace Engineering Sciences is honored this year for his creation and adoption of the open textbook Introduction to Autonomous Robots. The book has attracted the attention of fellow educators and thousands of hobbyists and programmers worldwide, who have forked the book and "starred" it on GitHub. Beginning in 2022, the textbook will be available through MIT Press with an open license. Mickelson, an associate professor in Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, is honored this year for his use of David J.C. MacKay’s openly-licensed text Sustainable Energy–Without the Hot Air in a 1000-level course on sustainable energy.
