Award Details
To help promote the use of OERs at UNC, stipends are being awarded to faculty who modify their courses to utilize OERs.
In our Carolina OER Pilot Program, up to eight stipends ($500-$1000 each) will be awarded in the spring of 2016 to help faculty redevelop their courses using OERs as opposed to more expensive resources. Funding for the pilot program is provided by a grant to Dr. Brad Hemminger in the School of Information and Library Science.
