Description:
The purpose of this program is to support projects that will expand the use of open educational resources (OER) across public postsecondary institutions in Colorado. This program is intended to support and expand creation, adoption, adaptation, and promotion of the use of OER; raise awareness of OER among faculty, staff, and students; and ultimately save students at public institutions of higher education $2 million in textbook costs in the academic year 2020/2021. Funds will be provided for the following types of projects:
  1. Institutional grants to support deploying new and sustaining existing institution-wide OER initiatives, which may include the use of incentive funding for faculty and staff
  2. Individual or small-group grants that support the review, creation, adaptation, or adoption of OER by faculty and/or staff, especially at institutions without an OER initiative or associated incentive funding
