Dear colleagues,
BCcampus has recently released an expression of interest regarding the development of open
courses<https://bccampus.ca/grants-calls-for-proposals/expression-of-interest-development-of-open-courses-2/>.
BCcampus would like to add further open courses to the open online course
collection<https://collection.bccampus.ca/> that align with open textbooks currently
in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection. We are looking for B.C. applicants who have
developed, adapted, or adopted an open textbook in our B.C. Open Textbook Collection to
develop a new open course, or adapt an existing open course, that accompanies the
textbook.
This expression of interest is for individuals, groups, or institutions and their
representatives (e.g., faculty members, articulation committees, teaching and learning
centres, libraries, and OER working groups) in B.C. and the Yukon that are interested in
developing or adapting open courses aligned with open textbooks available in the B.C. Open
Textbook
Collection<https://open.bccampus.ca/browse-our-collection/find-open-textbooks/>.
Note that there is no deadline for applications, as this is an ongoing call.
Estimated completion time: Four months
Grant amount: Up to $8000 per course. Three options:
* $2000 for an existing course that requires little modification
* $5000 for an adaption or major revision of an existing course
* $8000 for development of a new course
Applications will be evaluated by an internal review committee based on the following
criteria:
* Experience: Applicants have experience developing OER in B.C. post-secondary
education. Preference will be given to applicants who have already developed or adapted an
open textbook in the B.C. Open Textbook Collection.
* Plan for timeline of completion of work.
* A realistic budget for the scope of work
