Five faculty projects were selected to receive awards to adopt and author open educational resources that will replace more costly course materials. The faculty recipients will be working on their projects throughout the 2018-19 academic year, with projects implemented throughout the year and into fall 2019.
Through the VCU Impact Levels, the Affordable Course Content Awards celebrates project achievements with set "milestones" that mark the number of students impacted, cost savings from using free resources, and semesters the resource has been used at VCU.
When a project reaches a new milestone, we will update their "milestone medal" on this guide and share the news with the project's creators to formally support their case for the value and impact of their project. Impact Levels are not meant to be comparable across projects.
