This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation provides $267,268 to the University of South Alabama to scope the creation of an open-source ecosystem (OSE) consisting of the Pretext and Runestone software applications. The goal is to support accessible science, technology, engineering, and mathematics open educational resources (STEM OER) through an infrastructure exceeding alternatives. Key products include curating methods for multifaceted, accessible, interactive STEM content and analytics mechanisms for seamless user interaction. Stakeholder meetings and an in-person summit are planned to develop governance for a sustainable OSE serving STEM OER communities. The award is provided under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084), which seeks to advance solutions to national challenges through innovative research. Subawards totaling $30,000 will support the American Institute of Mathematics and two individuals to aid organizing efforts and represent the OSE at conferences, with a focus on creating a joint security cyberinfrastructure for the Pretext and Runestone applications. Evaluation will assess qualitative feedback from experts across the STEM OER field.
