Open Educational Resources Grant
West Virginia University Libraries and the Teaching and Learning Commons (TLC) are partnering to support the use of and the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) through a grant program for instructors. The grant's aim is to encourage development of alternatives to high-cost textbooks, lower the cost of college attendance for students, and support faculty who wish to implement new pedagogical models for classroom instruction.
The OER grant application is now open for the 2020/2021 grant period. Read more on our OER Grant page.
Open Textbook Review
Annually, we host an Open Textbook Review Workshop – a two hour session where
you can discover open textbooks in your field. After the workshop, you will be
asked to write a short review of an open textbook. Your review will benefit other
faculty considering open textbooks. You’ll receive a $200 stipend for your participation
and a written review.
