Open Educational Resources

With the advent of the shift to online teaching and learning, a number of upcoming online workshops, events and resources from the UW Libraries, focused on Open Educational Resources have become available. CGS and other JSIS National Resource Centers also offer curriculum development grants to educators who wish to strengthen their Asian Studies, European Studies, Global Studies, or Russian or East European Studies curricula. In addition to these grant opportunities, CGS and JSIS centers and programs have developed classroom materials, including lesson plans and language teaching resources.
