Dear colleagues,

BCcampus has recently opened two different calls for proposals that are closing in July.

The first call for proposals is for the Identification, Evaluation, and Development of Open Online Courses and Open Education Resources, which closes July 15, 2020. Proposals will be reviewed as they are received, rather than once the call closes, as the deliverables deadline is August 15.

From the call: "This call for proposals is to identify qualified institutions, departments, or individual educators to work with BCcampus on the identification, evaluation, and development of open online courses (OOCs) and other OERs."

Up to $10,000 will be awarded for the development of each course. Teams of applicants must include B.C. educators. For more information about the call and how to apply for funding, see the link to the call.

The second is the call for proposals for the Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Grant for Marketing Programs, which closes July 24, 2020.

From the call: "BCcampus will award one grant (maximum $60,000) to a B.C. institution committed to the development of a Zero Cost Textbook (ZTC) Program (Diploma or Degree) in Marketing."

See the link to the call for more information about the grant and how to apply.

Best,

Arianna Cheveldave
