Discussion
- State Library Grant Review Committee:
- The Illinois State Library is asking for a review committee to be established for their OER Grants Program. If any members of the OER Committee would like to participate, CARLI would appreciate your involvement. If you’ve submitted a grant application, you’ll need to recuse yourself from reviewing any application you are associated with. Hoping to establish a team of 15.
- CARLI is putting together a rubric based on the application and the State Library’s position about this money. The ISL will review.
