OER Grant Deadline November 17

Are you interested in saving your students money? Have you ever wished your students had access to their texts on the first day of class? Do you ever wish you had greater flexibility to choose and adapt materials for your courses without violating copyright? Do you ever feel like there's a huge gap in the educational materials available in your field and you want to help fill that void?

Applications are due November 17, 2017. Application guidelines and more information about OERs are available here.
