Greetings from Handong Global University!

We would like to introduce to you a UNESCO-UNITWIN grant program, UNESCO-UNITWIN OCW/OER Initiative (UUOOI), sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Education.

We encourage you and other faculty members at your institution to take part in.

The purpose of this initiative is to make individual scholar's lecture material (either in the form of text, audio, or video) open to the public in order to increase access to quality educational material for everyone including those who do not or cannot enjoy the privilege of formal education.

Through this initiative, not only people in your nation will become direct beneficiaries, but we also expect the other three things.

- Capacity building: Participating faculty will have a better understanding of digital media and teaching, leading to enhancement in education.

- Global benefits: Open contents created through the initiative will benefit not only the students at participating institutions but also other teachers, students, and self-learners from all over the world.
- Networking and collaboration: Participating faculty's involvement with the OER (Online Educational Resources) community will enable them to access and exchange ideas with colleagues from universities around the world.

You can apply for this program from 15 February to 28 February on this website or you can send your application to hgu.uuooi@gmail.com.
(If you submit your application through email, please send [A-1,2,3,4], Proof of Employment and Resume(CV) at once.)

You should apply your own lectures and that lectures have to be a new one!

However, if you have only uploaded your lecture note previously, you may upload a video based on your lecture note additionally this time.

For example, if you uploaded 3 credit Economics lecture note in the past, and if you upload the video file for the same Economics lecture this term, we will wire $600 additionally.
In this case, please make sure to write that you submitted your lecture note in the past and you will add video this time when you fill out [A-1] “Application paper” (Page 3 at Number 13; “Other Comments and Information”).

Also, we encourage you to invite other professors in your university or those in other universities to the UUOOI program as well for active participation among professors. Please note that previously, the competition to be accepted is 3~4 to one.
