Grant Requirements

CT OER Grant Requirements

All grants—Adoption, Supplemental, Impact, and Review—support faculty at CT colleges and universities in their efforts to lower textbook costs and improve learning through Open Educational Resources (OER). Each grant-type has specific deliverables but shares core expectations:

• Use, create, or review OER.

• Meet digital accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) standards.

• Share new or adapted materials under an open license (e.g., Creative Commons BY).

• Report student impact, including savings and outcomes, when applicable.

• By specified deadlines, submit reports to the CT OER Coordinating Council and OER materials to GoOpenCT.

Grant awards will be to the applicant(s) and payments are contingent on completion of the proposed activities and the submission of the complete grant report and OER materials (if applicable).
