Description
The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission offers WV Impact Grants II through Open Learning WV to support collaborative work that expands the use of open educational resources (OER). The Spring 2027 call is open to teams from West Virginia public two-year and four-year institutions and emphasizes projects with broader and lasting impact.
The program advances college affordability by helping faculty develop, adapt, and share high-quality learning materials that reduce textbook costs and improve students’ access to the resources they need to succeed. This call focuses on shared efforts rather than isolated course conversions, extending the benefits of open materials beyond a single course.
