Updates on the 2023-24 Staebler Insurance OER Fellows Grant Projects

As part of the Library’s mission to make learning materials freely accessible and available, the Staebler Insurance OER Fellows Grant supports the creation of open education resources (OER) at Waterloo.

As we prepare to announce a new round of grant recipients during Open Education Week, we’re reflecting on the progress the 2023-24 fellows have made on their projects.
