Hi there fellow Open Educators! Do you have an idea for curriculum development that you would like to implement? Would you consider making those resources "open"? If so, then this news is for you! I am very pleased to let you know that the 2020/2021 Call for Proposals for Open Education Grants is open until February 15. There are two categories of grants: 1. Continuing Grant Categories for Individuals Adoption - up to $250 - review and adopt an open textbook or other open learning resource, this can include minor revisions to customize it Revision - up to $2K - take an existing OER and make substantial revisions to better suit class learning outcomes Creation - up to $8K - create a learning resource - this can be in any category or format, eg.: textbook, video series, question or test banks 2. Department Open Education Grant - up to $15,000 - this grant goes directly to departments to adopt, revise, or create open education resources. These learning materials must be openly licensed and deposited into the BCIT Open Institutional Repository in an editable format. Use the Department application form below.
