Description: 

Do you teach research methods, introduction to sociology, or other courses on sociology fundamentals? Join us to discuss tips for teaching these classes in an engaging, accessible way. The authors of an open-access research methods textbook, The Craft of Sociological Research (https://viva.pressbooks.pub/sociology-research-methods), will introduce you to the wide world of open educational resources (OER), course materials that anyone is free to use and customize. We’ll discuss our methods textbook, how to find other open-access materials, and how to integrate them into your teaching. Then we’ll crowdsource ideas for what course structures, assignments, etc., work in teaching methods and other fundamentals. At the end, we’ll distribute the crowdsourced list—and raffle off a print copy of our textbook!
