Dear colleagues,
As publishers provide students and faculty with temporary free access to learning materials during the COVID-19 crisis, concerns have been raised about access and time limitations associated with the offers. Working with members of the library community, SPARC has developed the following template that can be used to communicate with publishers about the restrictions<https://sparcopen.org/sparc-crafts-language-in-response-to-covid-19-publish…>.
Please share with anyone who may find this helpful.

Dear colleagues,
Open Education for a Better World<https://oe4bw.org/> (OE4BW) is a tuition-free international online mentoring program, designed to help unlock the potential of open education in achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Today is the last day to submit an application to be either a mentor or an OER developer in the 2021 program, which will run from January to July 2021. According to the application form, "The program is open to all candidates with a concrete idea, clear motivation and strong commitment to develop and deliver an open online course or other large-scale open resource (e.g., an open textbook) aligned with the SDGs."
Submit an application for OE4BW<https://oe4bw.org/application/> by November 30, 2020.
Best,
Arianna Cheveldave
