Find Collaborators for Your Next OER Project

Posted February 26, 2026 in JMU Libraries News, Open Education News

Are you interested in using or creating open educational resources (OER) like open textbooks or other course materials?  

Funding is available, and you don’t have to do it alone! In fact, open education grant proposals can be strengthened by including faculty from multiple institutions! 

You can find faculty collaborators across Virginia by posting your project idea or the expertise you have to offer in the Virginia OER Collaborations Matchmaking Spreadsheet! It’s organized by discipline and offers a low-stakes opportunity for faculty with similar interests to connect. 
 
Contact: Questions about the spreadsheet can be directed to vivapub@gmu.edu. If you have questions about creating open content, contact Liz Thompson, our Open Education Librarian.
