      The Digital Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) is pleased to announce its third call for open educational resources (OER) in Caribbean studies. Please see the 2024 and 2023 stipend recipients and read the project page for details.

      This project builds on over a decade of efforts across dLOC’s network of educators to share teaching tools, ideas, and practices. Over the years, educators have freely shared syllabi, recorded lectures, lesson plans, and selections of primary sources. We recognize that in general, educators frequently share teaching resources with one another, but often these resources are inaccessible or unknown to the broader community. The dLOC OER initiative is an effort to make these types of resources more widely available.dLOC will establish a WordPress-based publishing platform devoted to disseminating and promoting this work. Our goal is fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and network building across languages and geographies. We seek projects that spur creative and critical pedagogical practices in Caribbean studies, with particular focus on projects that build upon, enhance, or complement the archival collections in dLOC.

      To compensate participants for both the labor of creating resources and their decision to share them freely with a broad audience, the project will award an honorarium of between $2,000 and $5,000.

      We encourage applications from adjunct, part-time, and full time college and university educators, independent scholars, librarians, archivists, curators, instructional designers, and graduate students from a range of disciplines and institution-types. We especially seek applications from individuals and groups based in the Caribbean.

      Please direct any questions to Tania M. Ríos Marrero, dLOC Project Coordinator: triosmarrero@ufl.edu.

      This project is made possible with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
