About the Award

This form has three questions about you (the nominator) and seven questions about the instructor & course you want to nominate. We will contact you if we have questions, but will not share your information with others.

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.
