Are you interested in developing an OER Fund grant proposal and incorporating open educational resources (OER) into your teaching and learning? This fall, the CTLT will host a number of consulting clinics to provide more information about the OER Fund:
Grant Proposal Development Consultations – Multiple Dates
The CTLT is offering online drop-in sessions for applicants who are planning on submitting OER Fund and TLEF project proposals. Applicants can register to ‘drop in’ to any of these online sessions to discuss their project ideas and receive feedback and advice on topics such as OER project management, open resource design, open licensure (Creative Commons), project evaluation, accessibility, and budget development. During these online sessions, consultants will be available to applicants in on-one-one and small break-out rooms. Applicants can use these sessions to get answers to general questions they have about the OER Fund process, as well as feedback to help them refine their pedagogical approaches, project scope and workplan, budget information, and project evaluation strategies.
