“OER offer an opportunity to implement inclusive strategies in the classroom that benefit all students,” said Brandauer, who is also the director of the Johnson Center for Creative Teaching and Learning (JCCTL). “We cannot be ‘excellent’ instructors without welcoming all students into our learning environments.” Wertzberger was also recognized as an Affordable Learning Champion by Affordable Learning Pennsylvania, a community of higher education partners who strive to advance educational affordability. Management Prof. Alice Brawley Newlin and Prof. Marta Maras have also received this honor for their dedication toward an affordable education. Together, Newlin and Maras remixed an open textbook to replace a $300 textbook for a statistical methods course.
