This program enables faculty to select an open educational resource to replace a commercially produced textbook for one of their courses and to assess its use in comparison to the traditional, commercial textbook.
Up to three amounts of $500.00 in professional development funds will be transferred upon successful completion of each phase ($1500.00 total).
In the case of new courses that are planned with OER from their inception, applicants should calculate the cost of equivalent traditional required materials and estimate the expected enrollment in the course. In these cases, the OER: Adopt funding will only consist of two phases and the professional development funds will consist of two amounts of $1000.00. Applications involving new courses may be submitted when courses are at any point in the course approval process.
For more information on OER, please see Libraries' OER LibGuide or contact Carla Myers, Scholarly Communications Coordinator at myersc2@MiamiOH.edu or 513 529-3935.
