<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Community Colleges of Spokane is exited to announce a Community of Practice (CoP) in Winter Quarter that will help faculty learn some Pressbooks basics and begin adopting, adapting, and creating content.
Thanks to a 1-year subscription to Pressbooks, sponsored by the <a href="https://www.sos.wa.gov/library/">
Washington State Library</a>,<span style="color:red"> </span>through SBCTC, faculty across our district have been working to build accessible OER through Pressbooks. The Community of Practice will ensure continued support for faculty as the Pressbooks work
extends beyond this first year. This work is supported by additional grant funds, thanks to a generous 2023 Welty Grant award, that will sustain significant work in Pressbooks and will provide a stipend to faculty in the CoP. Two additional CoPs will be funded
by the 2023 Welty Grant in upcoming academic years. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
