Open Educational Resources (OER) Development Grants
Call for Applications
Open Maricopa is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the 2023 OER Development Grants to develop digital course materials, including faculty-authored and -remixed open educational resources (OER). Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching materials published under an open intellectual property license that permits certain kinds of reuse, revision, and remixing. In addition to the benefit of customization, students benefit directly from free, immediate, and permanent access to high-quality educational materials.
