The UFV Library and Teaching and Learning Centre are pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for the Open Education Micro Grant (OEMG) program. This program, funded by UFV’s Strategic Initiatives Fund, provides faculty with the funds to hire an open education student assistant to help with the development or modification of open educational resources (OERs) that will enhance and support student learning. Examples of OERs include textbooks, lab manuals, or ancillary resources such as quiz banks, animations, interactive activities etc. Funding to cover four projects ($2,500 each in student funding) is currently available. The period for funding support is April 1 to August 31, 2022. Projects selected for funding must be completed by August 31.
Details on the program, including the application process, criteria, assessment rubric, and application form, can be found at: https://libguides.ufv.ca/OpenEducationMicroGrantProgram
Deadline for proposals is Jan 28 at 4 pm with successful applications announced in mid-February.
The OEMG program is also looking for adjudicators to assess applications to the program. If you are interested in open education practices but don’t have a proposal in mind, consider being an adjudicator. Please drop an email to the address below.
