For the second time, the Office of the Provost has provided funding for Open Education Resources (OER) projects.
Last week, funding was announced for 19 faculty members, including many at Pitt’s regional campuses, to adapt, adopt and/or create OER for an existing course. This past fall, the provost provided funding for 11 projects.
Open Education Resources help save students money on course materials as well as provide faculty with the ability to customize their courses.
