Opportunity - (Reminder) TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program



TSMRI seeks fellows for its 2012-2013 fellowship program

The Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI) announces its 2012-2013 fellowship program. An online application to become a TSMRI Fellow is available at http://www.tinyurl.com/TSMRIfellowapp. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 23 and fellows will be announced May 1.

TSMRI is a multidisciplinary collaboration based at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. The institute provides research and training focused on communication technology and social media for K-12 education, higher education, businesses, and non-profit organizations. 

The Texas Social Media Research Institute Fellowship Program aims to foster research on social media and provide researchers and practitioners resources for discovery, both applied and scholarly. Fellows will work with TSMRI to connect social media to their research agendas. Fellows will receive early access to the Journal of Social Media in Society, complimentary registration to the 2012 Social Media Conference and TSMRI workshops and a one-year membership to TSMRI. Fellowships are for one year (June 1 to May 31) and applicants may re-apply for one additional year.

We are excited about offering opportunities to scholars wishing to study issues in social media. We expect to have between 2 and 5 scholars for the inaugural year of the fellowship program and hope to have applicants from universities across the United States, various disciplines and research paradigms.

Open Education Week (March 5th to 10th) - Open Textbooks!





Readers,

I am becoming a huge fan of open textbooks! Here is "A Virtual Tour of the College Open Textbooks Adopter Communities" Prezi presentation! 



When traveling, I hate dragging textbooks along in my luggage. This virtual alternative for textbooks would enable me to remain current on my classwork AND prevent back pain at the same time!

Enjoy!

Sincerely,

J. Edwards
