OER Seed Grants Archive

OER Seed Grants (formerly Kelly Grants) funded pedagogical innovations and course redesigns resulting from the adoption, adaptation, or authoring of open educational resources (OER). In addition to eliminating textbook costs, grant projects reflected a wide range of goals: addressed textbook and course material deficits; rethought and reorganized course subject matter to incorporate a greater diversity and variety of source materials; increased student engagement, and redesigned entire program curricula. In many cases, the funding helped support graduate student assistance, which resulted in a unique collaborative and co-creative learning opportunity for GA’s. Grant recipients were supported by a team from Information Technology Services, the Center for Transformative Teaching, and University Libraries.
