The University of Northern Colorado Open Educational Resources (OER) Committee has announced the 2020 faculty OER awardees. The committee, made up of faculty, students and staff from across campus, reviewed numerous applications and made the recommendations for funding.
The stipend supports faculty members to transform a course, by utilizing — and in some cases creating — OER. These resources save students money and allow for teaching innovations related to open pedagogy; the courses will be taught in fall of 2020.

UNC’s Office of the Provost.
