Call for Participation: Open Educational Resources in Caribbean Studies (Apr. 15, 2015)
Note: This is not an H.S.A. Opportunity. We are sharing the word as a service.
Overview & Purpose
The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) is pleased to announce its third call for open educational resources (OER) in Caribbean studies. Please see the 2024 stipend recipients and 2023 stipend recipients and read the project page for details.
This project builds on over a decade of efforts across dLOC’s network of educators to share teaching tools, ideas, and practices. Over the years, educators have freely shared syllabi, recorded lectures, lesson plans, and selections of primary sources. We recognize that in general, educators frequently share teaching resources with one another, but often these resources are inaccessible or unknown to the broader community. The OER program is an effort to make these types of resources more widely available.
We have established a WordPress-based publishing platform devoted to disseminating and promoting this work and projects will be archived in the Teachers Resource collection on dLOC. Emphasizing collaboration, knowledge sharing, and network building across languages and geographies, dLOC seeks projects that spur creative and critical pedagogical practices in Caribbean studies, with particular focus on projects that build upon, enhance, or complement the archival collections in dLOC.
We encourage applications from adjunct, part-time, and full time college and university educators, independent scholars, librarians, archivists, curators, instructional designers, and graduate students from a range of disciplines and institution-types. We especially seek applications from individuals and groups based in the Caribbean.
This project is made possible with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
