Open Education Sprint Grants

June 29, 2016 by Sandra Matsuba 1 Comment

Sponsored by the AVP, Educational Support and Innovation, the BCIT Open Education Working Group, the BCIT Library, and the Learning and Teaching Centre are providing small grants (up to $5,000) this fiscal year to fund “sprints” to develop open ancillary resources (test banks, case studies, slide decks, etc.) or to redesign courses to incorporate open educational practices and open course materials. The Open Education Working Group, the Library, and the LTC offers additional support to apply for the grants, set up and run the sprints, find and adapt high-quality open educational resources, apply a Creative Commons licence (CC BY or CC BY-SA), and add newly created OER to the BCIT Open Repository.

What is an open education sprint? It is when a group of people get together for one or more days to develop something that will be given a Creative Commons License like the Great Psychology Test Bank Sprint.

There is a possibility of receiving matching funding from BCcampus.

BCcampus is also offering $250 honorariums to faculty who review open textbooks from the BCcampus collection.
