PALSave Faculty Grants: Open Pedagogy, Reviews, and Course Redesign

Open Pedagogy Assignment Grants
PALSave offers $500 grants to faculty for asynchronous learning about open pedagogy and to create, share, and implement an open pedagogy assignment in 2025-2026. The assignments will feature an authentic learning opportunity and a renewable/public-facing option.

• 63% of students surveyed in this project’s pilot year reported that open pedagogical methods made a positive difference in their learning of the subject matter.

Visit the PALSave Open Pedagogy Assignment Grant page to learn more. This can be completed in concert with the interactive Learning Circle hosted by the OEN.
