The Maryland Open Source Textbook (M.O.S.T.) initiative is pleased to announce the awardees of the 2022 OER Grant Programs: 2022 Faculty OER Mini-Grants and 2022 Institutional OER Grants.
The M.O.S.T. Faculty OER Mini-Grant Program is designed to strategically support faculty efforts to increase access, affordability, and achievement for students at Maryland’s 2-year and 4-year higher education institutions through the incorporation of open educational resources (OER) into teaching practice. The 2022 M.O.S.T. faculty mini-grants will provide recipients with unique opportunities to engage in communities of practice related to teaching with OER and the creation of OER in high-need areas. This year, 5 faculty grantees were selected from five 2- and 4-year Maryland public higher education institutions, with a potential impact on 1,000 students in AY 2022-2023
In collaboration with a working group of Interprofessional Education leaders from 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities across Maryland, the William E. Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation and the University of Maryland, Baltimore Center for Interprofessional Education are leading the first phase (18 months) of a statewide project aimed at increasing the availability, quality, and visibility of Interprofessional Education (IPE) in health care academic programs through digital badging.
