Kelly Grant funds are available through the Successful Teaching with Affordable Resources initiative to encourage the adoption, adaptation, or creation of open educational resources, including textbook alternatives, assessment tools, and ancillary materials.
The submission process had been moved to the NUgrant system and the deadline has been extended to April 22, 2019.
Log in to apply at nugrant.unl.edu and look under “Open Internal Competitions” for OER Kelly Grant 2019.
Including OER in your classroom expands your options from a pedagogical and course design perspective while decreasing costs for your students. A long-term goal of this initiative is to cultivate and support the development of a network of instructors who implement, develop, and adapt OER in support of student learning, and to encourage broad sharing of OER at the university and beyond.
The STAR team is available to assist with integrating OER into a course. Contact Brad Severa at bsevera@nebraska.edu with questions, for a consultation, and for information on submitting a proposal by April 22, 2019. Learn more at the OER website.
The Kelly Grant will be awarded in late April for fall 2019 courses.
