Open Human Geography: Free Classic Readings and Wiki Education
Browse by
The UTA CARES Grant Program, sponsored by UTA Libraries, was established in 2017 to support open education. In 2018, UTA Libraries awarded a UTA CARES Adoption Stipend totaling $1,000 to Dr. Andrew Milson, Professor in UTA's Department of History. The project proposal submitted by Dr. Milson states: "The purpose of this project is to eliminate the required textbook ($97) for GEOG 2302: Human Geography and to adopt freely-available resources in its place. For each of the topics in the course, students will read a "classic" article or book chapter that is available through UTA Libraries e-journal and e-book collection or through the web. Additionally, students will access UTA library resources and open access resources as they create and edit Wikipedia pages for a course project."
