ASCCC OERI

Are you interested in reducing student textbook costs and increasing student success by using open educational resources (OER)? Check out the ASCCC Open Educational Resources Initiative (OERI)'s newest opportunities.

OER Development Funding

Have an OER creation project you'd love to work on? You can apply to get funding from the OERI. In order to increase the availability of high quality OER, ASCCC OERI will fund a second round of collaborative OER development by California community college faculty to support work to be completed during 2020.

Instructions for Letter of Intent
Due Date: Interested faculty need to submit a Letter of Intent to apply for funding by 5 pm on November 1. (The full funding proposal will be due on December 16.)
Letter of Intent Submission Form

NEW INFO: Collaboration across districts is required to receive funding, but you do not need to have a collaborator already to submit a letter of intent. OERI can help match you up with interested collaborators. In addition, your collaborators can take any role, from a peer reviewer, to someone who will develop a quiz bank to go along with your textbook, to someone who coauthors a textbook with you.
