Open Educational Resources Funding
Overview
The OER working group, on behalf of the CTL is happy to announce several funding streams, to develop open educational resources (OER), support Zero Textbook Cost programs, or support individual courses in need of low-cost options for students at Cape Breton University. This program is designed to encourage and support educators from CBU in the adaptation, adoption, creation and curation of open educational resources, and to increase access to open course material for students. CBU has saved students over half a million dollars in textbook costs since the beginning of this program.
This stream is for the creation or adaptation of individual textbooks or axillary material. This could include:
§ $5,000: Up to $5,000 for the development of an open textbook on a topic that is currently not covered by an existing open textbook.
§ $2,500: Up to $2,500 to adapt an existing open textbook(s) to create a new version or edition, or to increase local content within an existing open textbook.
§ $1,000: Up to $1,000 for the creation of ancillary materials to support existing open textbooks, e.g. test banks, slide decks, or interactive media.
