OER Fellowship Program (archive) is one of Leeward CC's former award programs that encouraged faculty to use quality and sustainable OER and zero cost resources to help increase student success. The program spanned over two semesters, and provided incentives to instructors in their adoption, use, and evaluation of OER and zero cost resources in their classes. The OER Fellowship Program helped to foster our current UHCC OER community. Please feel free to explore this former award program.
