The University Library, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of Teaching and Learning Services have collaborated to establish an Open Textbook Fellowship Grant program. This pilot program supports instructors in the creation or adaptation of open textbooks for use in MacEwan University courses, including the creation or adaptation of complementary ancillary materials for use with existing open textbooks, such as test banks, instructor manuals, and multimedia materials.
The fellowship program is a 20-month facilitated process. Individual and collaborative applications will be considered, with awards of up to $5000 per project. Tenured, tenure-track, or sessional extended MacEwan faculty members are eligible to apply as lead applicants. Sessional members are encouraged to apply as collaborators with lead applicants.
