The WRLC is excited to launch the second pilot year of the Open@WRLC Faculty Course Transformation Program! The $2,000 Open Educational Resources (OER) Adoption stipend is intended to support faculty who wish to replace a commercial textbook with OER. Those who adopt a resource will be using existing resource(s) as-is or with minimal editorial changes. Selected faculty will be expected to adopt the selected material during the 2024-2025 academic year. Final submissions are due Monday, March 4, 2024 11:59 (EST).
While attending an informational webinar is not required, it is strongly recommended that applicants view a previously recorded event and contact their campus' WRLC TAWG (Textbook Affordability Working Group) representative with any questions regarding the application process: Open@WRLC Informational Webinar.
TAWG representatives are also available to assist you with locating OER material for your courseware needs. Campus contact information can be found here: Open@WRLC Contact Us. If your campus does not have an assigned TAWG representative, please contact us at open@wrlc.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!
