With funding from the Council of Atlantic Ministers for Education and Training (CAMET), the AtlanticOER Development Grant Program expanded this year. A new tiered system of funding was introduced to better support textbook creation (up to $7,000), adaptation (up to $3,500), and ancillary material creation projects (up to $1,000).
The grants aim to support educators from provincially funded post secondary institutions in achieving the following objectives:
- Support the creation or adaptation of open textbooks and ancillary materials, such as PowerPoint slides, quiz banks, images, and other digital study or interactive aids;
- Create a variety of OERs developed for use by educators and students in credit-bearing courses;
- Establish supportive events for the development of content for OERs, such as sprints (a collaborative in-person or virtual event to create or adapt an open textbook or ancillary resources); or
- Distribute funds to maximize direct benefit to a wide range of student learners and inquiry across a diversity of disciplines.

The 秀色短视频 Faculty of Indigenous Knowledge, Education, Research, and Applied Studies will host a full moon ceremony on Monday, July 22, in the tipi close to Kelley Memorial Building. The sacred fire will be lit at 6:30 pm, and the ceremony, led by Elder Thirely Levi, will begin at 7:00 pm.
Since time immemorial, Indigenous Peoples have followed the 13 moons or moon cycles to ground themselves in their teachings and ensure balance. Life on Earth is connected to and regulated by Grandmother Moon, through the tides and waters, which stabilizes our Earth's position and determines the cycle of women and the birth of new life. Grandmother Moon helps us with healing and is strongly connected to human life. Every phase of Grandmother Moon has a different focus, and this month, we focus on the strength and beauty of slowing down as Mother Earth begins to awaken from her rest.
Participants are asked to bring a bottle of water for blessing and to refrain from recording the ceremony either by video or photography. If you would like to wear a skirt but do not have one, you may borrow one during the ceremony. All are welcome!
