The University of Illinois System/CARLI has been awarded a 3-year $1.08 million from the U.S. Department of Education’s Open Textbooks Pilot Program – a competitive grant program based on US Senate Majority Whip and Illinois Senator Richard Durbin’s Affordable College Textbook Act. The grant will fund Illinois SCOERs (Support for Creation of Open Educational Resources), a program that will provide access to open textbooks and personalized learning tools for entry-level courses in high-demand health care and human development career paths.
