About the Open Western OER Fellowship Program

We are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the second round of the Open Western OER Fellowship. This grant and learning experience supports faculty members as they develop new Open Educational Resources (OER) for use in Western courses. Funded through a grant provided by the State of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS), this program promotes the development and use of Open Educational Resources (OER) to enhance student learning experiences, reduce textbook costs, and promote equitable access to educational materials.
