The benefits of OER for K-12 teachers include increasing awareness of and providing opportunities to develop open practices. The transition to a renewable assignment creates a space for teaching candidates to meaningfully contribute to the profession and engage in collaboration across time and space.

To help us get there, we identify amazing people with innovative ideas, give them a fellowship grant, and multiply the money they put into their own project by a factor of ten or more.

If we are deliberate about finding great people, supporting and sharing their positive approaches for social change, the world will get better, faster. That is why we are looking for social innovators who are open at heart, have a fresh perspective on addressing challenges and have a very clear idea of their role in bringing about positive change.]]> 2021-08-13 15:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/digitalliteracy2/openeducationalresources/wish/1678270134 Identify funding, resources, & support for OER digitalliteracy2 https://padlet.com/digitalliteracy2/openeducationalresources/wish/1678272146 A key approach to driving adoptions of open educational resources (OER) is to find ways of providing funding to instructors adopting or adapting open textbooks or resources. An open working group may want to look at distributing internal grants to support instructors in the development of open resources. In addition, the open working group may want to take an inventory of grants available from external organizations, such as BCcampus, Creative Commons, or the Mozilla Foundation. You can also find ways of combining these sources; for example, you can match organizational funds with institutional grants.]]> 2021-08-13 15:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/digitalliteracy2/openeducationalresources/wish/1678272146 Kwantlen Polytechnic University OER grants digitalliteracy2 https://padlet.com/digitalliteracy2/openeducationalresources/wish/1678278968 There are three types of OER grants from KPU:

1. OER Adoption Grant: "to support faculty who wish to adopt OER in place of commercial textbooks and to recognize the efforts involved in implementing this change."

2. OER Adaptation Grant: "may include proposals to adapt existing open textbooks by updating or localizing them, making them interactive by incorporating H5P applications, or developing ancillary resources (such as question banks) to support existing open textbooks".
