UTA CARES Grant Program
Creation of this OER was funded by the UTA CARES Grant Program, which is sponsored by UTA Libraries. Under the auspices of UTA’s Coalition for Alternative Resources in Education for Students (CARES), the grant program supports educators interested in practicing open education through the adoption of OER and, when no suitable open resource is available, through the creation of new OER or the adoption of library-licensed or other free content. Additionally, the program promotes innovation in teaching and learning through the exploration of open educational practices, such as collaborating with students to produce educational content of value to a wider community. Information about the grant program and funded projects is available online.
Authors’ Note
We are extremely grateful for the support of Matt DeCarlo. Not only did he create the source material for this project, but he also provided us with technical support, promoted our project to others, and met with the first cohort of student authors to offer inspiration and encouragement. Matt has been a pioneer in bringing OER to social work academia and we are proud to be following in his footsteps.
We also appreciate the support of the library staff at The University of Texas at Arlington Libraries. Jessica McClean, Michelle Reed, Katherine Willeford, and Jasmine Bridges offered their extensive expertise to guide our efforts. Kartik Mann, Shubham Patil, Hamsa Puttaswamy, and other graduate research assistants patiently helped with Pressbooks, answered our questions and solved our technical problems.
Lastly, we could not have done this project without the support of the School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Arlington. We thank all the administrators, faculty, and staff who supported us with a special shout out to Drs. Katherine Sanchez and Keith Anderson.
