The VCU Libraries Affordable Course Content Awards support faculty in creating, adapting, or adopting existing open educational resources for use in their courses.
All projects must meet the following criteria:
Projects must directly benefit VCU students and be used in VCU courses for at least two semesters.
All resulting products must be openly licensed and shareable beyond VCU.
The program runs annually, with applications typically available in the late spring. The Affordable Course Content Awards program is made possible in part by The Barbara Ford Endowment of the 21st Century Fund and The Friends of VCU Libraries.
VIVA (the Virtual Library of Virginia, Virginia's academic library consortium) offers the VIVA Open Grants to help support faculty looking to adopt, adapt, and create free course content. VCU Libraries is eager to work with faculty in applying for grant funds, identifying multi-institutional partners, and serving as project partners.
