Impact
In 2017, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences partnered with USU Libraries and Academic & Instructional Services to create a grant opportunity for the creation, adaptation, and adoption of OER within the college. Below is a snapshot of the grant's impact.
8 Faculty Members
Faculty within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences recieved grant funding to create, adapt, or adopt Open Educational Resources for their courses.
970 Students
Nearly one thousand students were directly impacted as a result of the grant, each saving more than $79 on average.
$77,000 in Savings
From the initial $20,000 investment, students saved an estimated $70,000. This is a fairly conservative estimate, and the OER created, adopted, and adapted are freely available online for other faculty and students around the world to use.
Past and In-Progress Grants
Projects that are in the works or have already received grant funding can be found below - along with links to the OER created, adapted, or adopted as they become available.
