The Alamo Colleges District has been awarded a $1.96 million grant for the Alamo Colleges Open Educational Resources (OER) Consortium Project through the U.S. Department of Education’s Open Textbooks Pilot Program for community colleges and universities. This year, Alamo Colleges is one of only five institutions to receive the grant funding. The Alamo Colleges OER Consortium Project will provide support for the AlamoBOOKS+ initiative, an innovative, dual-investment program that provides Alamo Colleges students with universal access to instructional materials, including open educational resources. “This grant funding will be pivotal for the Alamo Colleges to sustain the viability of AlamoBOOKS+ and create new and innovative professional development opportunities,” said Dr. Mike Flores, Alamo Colleges District Chancellor.
