[ATTW-L] [EXTERNAL] Resource: David McMurrey's Online Technical Writing

[Sarah Read]

Hello, ATTWers!

Thank you for the updates to the best TPC OERs out there! I'm adding a link
here to the OER resource we created at PSU to help instructors and others
navigate the world of OERs in TPC. Henry Covey edited and released a new
version last year.

https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/pdxopen/27/

We are trying to determine the next phase for this guide and are always
open to ideas and collaborations.

For more on the guide, check out our recent article in PP:

Cheers,
Sarah
