The University of Regina's OER Bootcamp, held on May 16, 2024, featured a comprehensive workshop on planning Open Educational Resource (OER) projects. Presenter Shuana Niessen led Part 2 of the Grant Writing Workshop, focusing on the design phase up to the application for funding.
This session is designed for educators and administrators who have considered applying for a University of Regina grant to adapt or create OER but needed guidance on developing a budget, workplan, and proposal. The workshop provides a step-by-step approach to creating a competitive grant proposal.
Key topics covered include:
- Design Phase: How to structure your OER project from concept to proposal.
- Budget Creation: Tips for building a realistic and justified budget.
- Workplan Development: Laying out tasks, timelines, and responsibilities.
- Proposal Writing: Crafting a clear, compelling narrative for your application.
The workshop is part of a series aimed at supporting OER initiatives at the university, helping participants turn their ideas into funded projects.
