I’m passing along news of a promising OER training opportunity. For those who haven’t heard, Campus Manitoba is aiming to pull together a Manitoba-based cohort for the Rebus Textbook Success Program. Participants should be individuals or teams currently working on specific OER projects. The program would begin in November.

The professional development program is one year long, and would include 9 to 12 weeks of weekly meetings, followed by monthly meetings.

Details on the program can be found here: https://rebus.community/textbook-success-program/

Cost is $4000 per OER project, and allows participation for all members of the team.

You can contact Carley McDougall (mcdougallc@campusmanitoba.camailto:mcdougallc@campusmanitoba.ca) for more information. If you’re interested in the opportunity, please let me know as well, and I can look into the possibility of the OER grant program supporting the registration costs.
