This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award of $1,650,000.00 aims to transform STEM education nationwide through the development and large-scale deployment of open educational resources (OER) and integrated social annotation technologies. The project will enhance and deploy the Nota Bene (NB) web-based annotation platform, enabling students and instructors to engage in collaborative content improvement by annotating digital textbook materials. By integrating NB into the popular LibreTexts OER platform, the project seeks to establish social annotation as a core STEM learning practice and create a scalable infrastructure for collaborative OER development. The University of California, Davis is the awardee and will lead the effort to redesign and expand the NB platform, implement workflows for peer review and open pedagogy, and build an operational system for collecting and analyzing learner-instructor interactions to drive content improvement and learning outcomes. The award period runs from October 15, 2025 to September 30, 2030.
