Connecticut Open Educational Resources Grant Program
The CT OER Grant Program is designed to strategically support Connecticut higher education institutions' efforts to increase access, affordability, and achievement for students through the incorporation of OER. This grant program will focus on OER opportunities in "high impact" areas - courses with high enrollment and high textbook costs for which high-quality OER already exists.
