The UTA CARES Grant Program, sponsored by UTA Libraries, was established in 2017 to support open education. In 2018, UTA Libraries awarded a UTA CARES Adoption Stipend totaling $1,000 to Dr. Christy Spivey, Associate Clinical Professor in UTA's Department of Economics. The project proposal submitted by Dr. Spivey states: "I am developing a new course for the Economics BS program, ECON 4318: Economic Data Analysis Capstone, to be taught for the first time in Fall 2018. A major focus of this course will be a data analysis project, which will require students to answer an economic question using real data and to communicate the findings in a way that is understandable to a non-Economics major. I plan to use Wiki Education and open source materials from Tableau, the data visualization software, for the project."
