Open Educational Resources (OER) @ Drake

Drake Faculty Open Education Grant Program

Cowles Library is excited to announce an opportunity for full-time Drake faculty interested in learning more about using open educational resources (OER) in their courses. These open resources replace costly textbooks, and are beneficial to students in your courses in so many ways. The Drake Faculty Open Education Grant Program is offering $500 stipends to participants who complete the program, which comprises a workshop, self-paced learning modules, and peer discussion. 

This program will be limited to six (6) participants in fall 2023, and participants must complete all required components to receive their stipend. We expect the time commitment for the program to be ten to twelve (10-12) hours, which includes the virtual kickoff workshop on Friday, October 6, 3:30-5:00 p.m.

Deadline: Applications are due by Wednesday, September 27th. Individuals will be notified of the status of their application by Monday, October 2.  Grants will be awarded based on representation of a wide range of disciplines and the alignment of application responses to the proposed content of this program
