Purpose
The openTXST grant offered by University Libraries is an opportunity for faculty and staff to apply for support transforming their projects or courses into experiences based on open educational resources (OER). Additional consideration will be given to projects or courses that incorporate the following components:
- Open Pedagogy - Open Pedagogy gives students agency to direct their own learning, and empowers them to engage with the academic, civil, and digital world by sharing what they've learned in new and creative ways
- Alignment with student success initiatives
- Highlighting unique opportunities at Texas State
The openTXST grant will open mid-February and close mid-April each spring. After the review period is complete, recipients will be contacted in late April. The grant support period is a total of 9 months, formally starting at the beginning of May and concluding at the end of December of the same year.
Expectations of Applicants
Applicants must complete all fields of the application for it to be considered by the review team. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
