Recently funded through UFV\u2019s Strategic Initiatives Fund, the UFV Library and Teaching and Learning Centre are excited to announce a new Open Education Micro Grant Program (OEMG) for 2021-22.\u00a0 This program is designed to support faculty adapting and developing open education resources (OERs) that will be used in UFV courses and beyond.\u00a0 Funding will be allocated to hire Open Education Student Assistants who will work under faculty mentorship to complete tasks that lead to the creation or adaptation of OE resources.<\/p>\n

These tasks may include Pressbooks conversions, editing and revision, image and interactive item creation, formation of test banks, or other tasks. Successful faculty project proposals will receive funding for 100-150 student hours.\u00a0 Our hope is that this fund will promote the increased use of OERs at UFV and build faculty capacity for OER development and adaptation.\u00a0 The OEMG will also provide significant experiential value to student hires by allowing them to develop transferrable and knowledge specific skills that they can use in their programs and into their careers following graduation.<\/p>\n

The formal Call for Proposals will be issued on 15 November 2021 with a closing date of 28 January 2022.\u00a0 The funding period for successful applicants is April \u2013 August 2022.<\/p>\n
