Funded by the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER) and administered by Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc. (PALCI), PA GOAL aims to support a wide range of open and zero-cost initiatives at a diverse range of institutions across Pennsylvania.
The PA GOAL project awarded a series of grants to encourage and support faculty and academic staff in creating, adapting, and adopting Open Educational Resources (OER) and other zero-cost materials for classroom use in Pennsylvania institutions of postsecondary and higher education. The project aims to create a more equitable ecosystem for virtual learners by expanding access for both traditional students and non-traditional adult learners from all age groups, ethnicities, and backgrounds in post-secondary and higher education institutions across Pennsylvania.
