For team grants, each of the team members will be awarded $500. Team grants are primarily designed for multi-section courses with coordinated texts. Awards will be funded by the BC3 Education Foundation and distributed through BC3 Payroll subject to withholdings.
 
Applications are due by February 28, 2023, and awards will be announced via email by March 30, 2023.

  • Compete the Faculty OER Outcomes Survey by June 2024.
  • Create a 5-10 minute video tour of the course in Blackboard by June 2024. The video should display OER resources that were selected and provide an explanation of how the selected OERs are being used in the course. The video can be recorded through the recording and screen sharing features in either GoToMeeting or Echo360.
