OhioLINK Grant News

From the OhioLINK What's New Blog and OhioLINK list serv:

OhioLINK has been named a recipient of a $750,000 grant from Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC), a new initiative focused on identifying and scaling technology-enabled approaches to dramatically improve college readiness and completion, especially for low-income young adults. OhioLINK’s winning project will build off of its successful Ohio Digital Bookshelf program by creating multimedia and self-assessment tools to help students succeed in fundamental math and applied engineering courses. OhioLINK’s proposal was one of 29 recipients chosen out of 600 pre-proposals and 50 finalists.

NGLC is led by EDUCAUSE in partnership with The League for Innovation in the Community College, the International Association of K-12 Online Learning, and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation helped design the Next Generation Learning Challenges, and fund the initiative.

“This grant funding from Next Generation Learning Challenges will provide a broader opportunity to help struggling students gain a better grasp on the fundamentals of math and applied engineering,” said Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro. “The tools which come out of this program will help create a stronger workforce for Ohio.” -- Stacy Brannan, Marketing and Communications Coordinator OhioLINK
