The OER Campus Kickstart: Award for Growing Illinois OER Programs provides funding for financial incentives to smaller college campuses and campuses with little or no support for OER programming to take some of their first steps. The intended outcome is collaboration between academic faculty and librarians to implement Open Educational Resources in their courses and help establish OER programs on their campus. Further information regarding eligibility and selection can be found on the ILA website.
We are extending the deadline to Friday, April 14 to allow more time for libraries to submit their applications. If you have questions about the application or the requirements of the award please reach out to Dan Matthews: Matthewsd29@morainevalley.edu.
