TAACCCT & OER•TAACCCT $2 billion over 4 years starting 2011
•2011 $500K awarded via 49 grants
•2012 $500K awarded via 79 grants
•All TAACCCT deliverables must be openly licensed with a Creative Commons CC-BY license
•Biggest Open Educational Resource (OER) initiative ever
•OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an open license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others.
•Open educational resources include full courses and supplemental resources such as textbooks, images, videos, animations, simulations, assessments, …
•OER are learning materials freely available under a license that allows you to - Reuse, Revise, Remix & Redistribute
