VIVA Open Adopt Grants Available. Apply by Nov. 7

VIVA is pleased to announce a new round of VIVA Open Adopt Grants. Application deadline is November 7. VIVA Open Adopt Grants provide awards of $2,000 to individual instructors to support the time it takes to integrate existing open or no-cost materials into a syllabus, and to ensure that the results of those efforts are widely available to Virginia educators. 

VIVA Open Adopt Grants will be awarded to individual faculty members hoping to adopt an already existing open resource. Team and departmental adoptions, as well as projects seeking to adapt or create new Open Educational Resources, should apply for the next round of the larger scale VIVA Open Course Grants. Learn more and find the application here. 

Informational webinars will be held on the below dates. Registration is required. More information is available on VIVA’s website.

• Tuesday, Oct. 3, 11 a.m.
• Wednesday, Oct. 18, 1 p.m.
• Friday, Nov. 3, 10 a.m.

Questions can be sent to vivaopen@gmu.edu.
