Airtable is being used at UAF in all sorts of ways—sharing resources with students, managing inventory for facilities services, connecting students to community-based projects, facilitating the evaluation of GER outcomes, managing catalogs of courses, managing game mechanics—dig into the details and learn how to get involved.
As tuitions rise and state funding shrinks, one way to ensure that our education is competitively affordable is to adopt open educational resources in lieu of expensive textbooks.
