Affordable course materials Jumpstart Initiative
Author: Troy Rutter
Iowa State University is investing in several Jumpstart Initiatives that are aligned with the 2022-2031 ISU Strategic Plan. The first of two Calls for Proposal (CFP) for Affordable Course Materials Jumpstart projects is open and is focused on infrastructure. The second CFP will focus on projects related to content. The overarching goal for both grant categories is to enhance the affordability of course materials at Iowa State. Both grant categories support projects related to affordable course material initiatives and platforms that include Open Educational Resources (OER), Immediate Access (IA) course materials, and library-licensed materials, such as those leveraged through Course Reserves.
