delivering OER
There is limited funding available for CSI faculty via the CUNY OER Initiative grant.
Funding applies to original OER creation (textbooks, supplemental educational materials, assessment creations, etc.), as well as conversion of courses to using only ZTC (Zero Textbook Cost) materials.
If you are interested in applying for funding or you have additional questions, please reach out to Professor Christina Boyle, Emerging Technologies Librarian and OER Coordinator: christina.boyle@csi.cuny.edu.
