Transforming Education at UNM: CULLS launches innovative OER Programs with AI integration and financial support

The College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences (CULLS) is supporting faculty and instructors interested in researching and developing Open Educational Resources (OER) for use in higher education. Both programs offer monetary support for selected applicants. This summer, CULLS will run a Pilot Program to help faculty, instructors, and graduate students learn more about AI and OER. This pilot program for AI-Enhanced Creation of Open Educational Resources consists of a cohort of 6-10 faculty members and instructors. The pilot will help CULLS develop the AI section for an OER guidebook currently in development, and cohort members will receive a stipend of $1,000, as well as three months’ subscription to Open AI’s GPT-4, for their involvement in the program.
