Cal OER will focus on OER efforts and impact, broadly defined, across the state of California and especially across the state’s three public higher education systems, the California Community Colleges, California State University, and University of California.

Individuals submitting proposals will be asked to identify which of the following tracks is most aligned with their proposal:

·  Engaging Students in OER
·  Advocating for OER
·  Sustainability
·  Exploring OER
·  Demonstrating the Impact and Efficacy of OER

Please note that proposals that focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion are expected and anticipated in all tracks.
