Are you new to open educational resources (OER) and interested in learning how to adopt or scale OER in your course or across your institution?  Register to join the Maryland Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) Initiative at one of three regional forums across Maryland to participate in interactive sessions, discussions, and hands-on workshops on OER in higher education.  These day-long regional forums are targeted to higher education faculty, instructional designers, librarians, and administrators interested in getting an introduction to openly licensed materials, finding resources to support OER adoption, and joining discussions on OER accessibility, quality, and impact on student success.  Attendees will have an opportunity to network, learn, and collaborate with colleagues from across Maryland’s 2- and 4-year higher education institutions.

Call for Proposals - Regional OER Forum Poster Showcase
We are inviting faculty, staff, and administrators from Maryland higher education institutions to present their OER stories at a poster showcase at one or more regional forums.  Are you passionate about the use of OER and interested in engaging others in adopting OER by sharing your experiences – both what has worked and what hasn’t? Have you created new open content within your field or discipline? Do you have OER content adoption strategies to share? Has the use of OER led to broader redesigns of courses, changes to pedagogy, greater student engagement, or increased student learning?  Share your story at the M.O.S.T. Regional OER Forums.  

Submit your proposal for a poster showcase by 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday, March 22, 2019. Applicants will be notified about acceptance by March 27, 2019.

Maryland Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) State Summit

In addition to the Regional Forums, on May 28, 2019 we will be co-hosting the second Maryland Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) State Summit with the Congress of Academic Library Directors (CALD) of Maryland at the Maritime Conference Center in Linthicum Heights, MD.  This second summit will build on the first M.O.S.T. Summit held in December 2017 with a focus on strategically building capacity within and across Maryland higher education institutions to increase access, affordability, and achievement for students and is ideally suited for institutions wishing to send a team of individuals charged with making OER adoptions strategic, sustainable, and impactful at their institution.  Learn more about the M.O.S.T. State Summit and the topics that will be featured.

If you have any questions, please contact us at MOST@usmd.edu.

Sam McCready, well-beloved former professor of theatre who mentored the careers of dozens of UMBC students, passed away on February 10 at the age of 82. 

During his years at the university, Mr. McCready directed thirty productions, beginning with The Boys from Syracuse by Rodgers and Hart in 1984, and ending with Shakespeare’s Macbeth in 2001. He helped foster the growing Theatre Department’s reputation for exceptionally high-quality, imaginative performances. Three of his productions — The Importance of Being Oscar by Micheal Mac Liammóir (1986), Spring’s Awakening by Frank Wedekind (1987), and The Diary of a Scoundrel by Alexander Ostrovsky (1996) — were invited to the finals of the American College Theater Festival at Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. As an actor with the Maryland Stage Company, he was particularly noted for his interpretation of roles by Samuel Beckett, which he performed internationally. Born in 1932 in Ireland, Mr. McCready was a founding member of the Lyric Theatre in Belfast, and also taught at University College of North Wales, and Stranmillis Training College.

Last month, many of Mr. McCready's former UMBC students, colleagues, and friends traveled to Baltimore from around the country to visit him in hospice, sharing stories and reminiscences. He is survived by his wife, Joan, and son, Richard. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 9, 1:30 p.m., at Abiding Savior Lutheran Church, 10689 Owen Brown Road, Columbia, MD.

“In lieu of flowers, we are asking that people make a contribution to the Arbor Day Foundation,” says Richard. “My father adored nature, and planting trees in his honour would be the most appropriate way to remember him.”
