A Million Reasons to Go Open
OER Grants Now Available!
Open Education Resources (or “OER”) are openly-licensed, free or low-cost materials that can be modified and redistributed to educate students while reducing the cost of a college education. We are excited to announce a partnership between the Bookstore, Hunter Library, and Coulter Faculty Commons (CFC) to sponsor up to $1,000,000 in faculty grants for the adoption of OER materials into the Book Rental program.
This program is designed to:
- Promote additional course flexibility in the Book Rental program,
- Support faculty with largely unrestricted grant funds,
- Foster long-term savings for students,
- Give faculty the tools they need to explore and adopt materials with the assistance of Hunter Library, and,
- Help faculty integrate OER materials through course redesign assistance with Coulter Faculty Commons
OER materials can be made available digitally and/or as a printed book through the Book Rental program to accommodate all styles of teaching.
