2017-18 Open Educational Resources Grants recipients announced | UToday | University of Calgary

The high cost of textbooks is one of many pressures that university students face. The Office of the Vice-Provost for Teaching and Learning is leading the Open Educational Resource (OER) Pilot Project in an effort to address this issue, providing several professors with the means to adopt or adapt OERS for their own courses. The Hewlett Foundation describes Open Education Resources as “teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property licence that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.”
