Open Educational Resources (OER) grants

Sponsored by the VP, Academic, the SFU Library and the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) jointly provide small grants to support the adoption of Open Textbooks and other Open Educational Resources (OER) in SFU courses. The Library and the TLC will assist recipients in locating, evaluating, and adapting high quality Open Resources as an alternative to expensive commercial course materials.
