To continue building sustainable change that supports adoption of open education resources in place of costly commercial textbooks, successful grantees will use grant funds to fund part of the open education plan that they created as part of LOEL funding during year one of the grant.
Each program mini-grant is $1,500.
In order to accept funds for program mini-grants, LOEL Year 1 planning grant participants need to confirm participation by signing the Interagency agreement.
Deliverables include:
- March 2016: Concept Map or slide-show and analysis of OE at the Institution: Before and After.
- March 2016: Interview an Administrator on Open Education and how the library affected OE adoption at your institution.
- June 2016: Executive Summary of Yearly Activities to meet strategic plan goals.
- June 2016: OE Impact Summary (worksheet from the grant packet).
