March 3-7 is Open Education Week! Open Education Week is a global celebration in which to share and champion open education.
What is open education? Resources, practices, or tools that are available without financial, legal, or technical barriers.
Why is open education important? As SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition) concisely states the case: “Education is essential to advancing society. It’s how we pass down the wealth of human knowledge and equip the next generation of leaders, innovators, and citizens.”
So how we choose to share research and knowledge matters. To that end, let’s celebrate Smith's newest contribution to Open Ed with Professor Will Raven’s Atomic Physics for Everyone: An Introduction to Atomic Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Precision Spectroscopy with No College-Level Prerequisites.
Because it’s an Open Educational Resource (OER), Atomic Physics for Everyone, really does mean everyone. Enjoy!
