(via CARLI)
CARLI is offering a final round of the Illinois SCOERs Sub-grants for the Creation of Open Educational Resources, made possible from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) in the U.S. Department of Education.
CARLI seeks grant proposals for the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) for courses in any subject that have a high enrollment, high textbook costs, are taught multiple times a year, or that focus on some aspect of “The Human Condition: Care, Development, and Lifespan”. We seek pedagogically-innovative projects to create ancillary materials to accompany open textbooks that you may already be using in your classes or that you are planning to adapt or create for your course. These OER will implement high-impact, culturally-relevant and -inclusive, collaborative projects in support of open education and reduced textbook costs and facilitate creative pedagogy.

- Not sure about the 3D printing assignment? Check a box and the CARLI team will develop a 3D printing assignment for your class.

- Round 1 and Round 2 awardees may apply for up to $15,000 in additional funds to help complete their project or create additional ancillary material
