Dear colleagues,
If you would like to adapt an open textbook (e.g., to localize/contextualize it) or create
some openly-licensed content (e.g., modules, videos, question banks, etc.) to support your
classes, please consider applying for an OER grant. The application form is brief and the
turnaround time for a decision rapid. With this grant you can quickly get up to $2000 to
support your project, which you could use for ~125 hours of student assistant support. For
more information please visit: http://www.kpu.ca/open/grants
Questions about this grant or the application process? Please send an email to
open@kpu.ca<mailto:open@kpu.ca>
Cheers,
Rajiv

Subject: [Openkpu] OER Grants: New application cycle & revised application form
Dear colleagues,
As you may know, KPU has offered small OER grants for the past two years to those
interested in creating, adapting, and adopting OERs. These grants are jointly funded by
BCcampus and the Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic and thus far have been
used to support OER projects in Academic & Career Preparation, Languages &
Cultures, Sociology, Asian Studies, English Language Studies, and the Learning Centres.
I am writing to inform you that the Open Education Working Group has recently revised the
application process for these grants from rolling applications to 1 application deadline
per semester (May 1, September 1, and January 15). For information about these grants
(including eligible expenses, expectations, and evaluation criteria) and the brief
application form, please visit: http://www.kpu.ca/open/grants
Thank you,
Rajiv
