Before You Move On
Please try to answer all the questions on the next page so that the review committee has enough information to properly evaluate the nomination.

Important!: Course materials that are accessible to UT students through shared licenses (such as most e-journals available through the UT Libraries) are NOT considered OERs. That's because OERs are open -- available to everyone, everywhere, for free, no login required.
