The deadline to apply for Open/Alternative Textbook (OAT) course designations is Sept. 30. The OAT program is designed to expand the use of freely-available resources in classes to help address the rising cost of textbooks and the impact of that expense on students.

Courses with an OAT designation are visible to students in the course schedule to help them choose classes with low or no textbook costs. The course fee associated with OAT course designations is no longer required.

Have an idea? Not sure where to start? Why not start by learning about the tools and programs designed to help bring your ideas to life at one of Project Innovation Hub’s more than 40 new tool training workshops that help train students about operating equipment? Project Innovation Hub is a hands-on prototyping laboratory located in the John Bardo Center on WSU’s Innovation Campus.

Students of all skill levels and majors are welcome. The workshops include the following:

• 3D printers
• Laser cutters
• Sewing
• Screen printing
• Soldering

It’s never too late to try new tactics in the classroom and at home to improve learning.
