Open Education Fellows for 2025

UT Libraries’ is pleased to announce the 2025 cohort of Open Education Fellows:

  • Dr. Robin Moore, Butler School of Music
  • Dr. Marissa Burgermaster, Dell Medical School
  • Dr. Øyvind Bjøru, College of Liberal Arts

This cohort of Open Education Fellows will be working to author their own open educational resources, which will replace paid course materials in their classes. While working on their projects, the fellows will be supported by our Open Education Librarian, Heather Walter, as well as additional UT Library staff. We congratulate the fellows on their placement and look forward to seeing their work. Their efforts will contribute to the open educational ecosystem here on campus, as well as positively impact student academic success.
