OER/ZTC Research and Student Impact

ZTC Champions

The Affordable Educational Resources Committee (AERC) has launched the ZTC Champions campaign, inviting students to nominate faculty who offer ZTC courses and have positively impacted their learning experience. This section features student voices as they celebrate these instructors and the ZTC initiative. The ZTC Champions Nomination Form is still open. We encourage students to continue sharing their appreciation for faculty who are making a difference.
