SUMMARY:The Price is Wrong: Free or Low-Cost Alternatives in Higher Education (Concordia University)
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes\, the cost of academic publishing can feel very wrong. Costs might feel wrong for students facing higher living and tuition costs\, and for researchers seeking to make their work open access. \nTextbooks\, course packs\, journal articles\, academic books\, and related online resources carry various price tags; some of which are shockingly high or low. Uncover the publishing costs in academia and learn about for-profit publishing alternatives. Participants who guess the accurate price will win prizes as we reveal how pathways within open scholarship and open education can lessen the financial burdens on students\, educators\, and researchers. \nIn twelve spins\, our version of Price is Wrong features useful information\, several slices of humour\, and prizes for our winners. In this collaboration\, Rachel Harris and Zo Kopyna from the Concordia University Library’s Open Educational Resources Team\, Ryan Van Huijstee from Concordia University Press\, and Douglas Moffat from 4TH Space act as game-show hosts\, radio announcers\, and design magicians. Together\, we encourage students\, professors\, librarians\, and staff members to join us… as volunteer game-show contestants and audience members\, take your seats! \n… \nHow can you participate? Join us in person  [4TH SPACE in the J.W. McConnell Building] or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting or watching live on YouTube. \n  \n> Learn more  \n> Part of open education month at Concordia University
