Learn more about K-State's Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative

Submitted by Cailin Riley

The Center for the Advancement of Digital Scholarship at K-State Libraries will host several hybrid information sessions about the Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative. Attendees will learn more about the program and resources available to support the adoption or creation of open educational resources.

The Open/Alternative Textbook Initiative provides grants between $2,000-$5,000 for instructors to adopt or create open educational resources for their classrooms. The initiative aims to make education more affordable for K-State students. Since being launched in 2013, it has saved students more than $10 million.

Friday, Dec. 2, is the submission deadline for the fall 2022 grant submissions.

All grant applicants are highly encouraged to attend one of the upcoming general information sessions.

  • Nov. 15, noon to 1 p.m. in 307 Hale Library and via Zoom. 
  • Nov. 30, 2:30-3:30 p.m., in 307 Hale Library and via Zoom

Participants must register to attend online sessions. More information, including registration links, can be found on the event webpage.

If you are interested in learning more about the Open/Alternative Initiative and are unable to attend either of these sessions, please contact the Center for the Advancement of Digital Scholarship to schedule a consultation.
