Virginia's Academic Library Consortium

VIVA, in cooperation with Software Services by Scientist.com (formerly Notch8) and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, has been awarded an IMLS National Leadership Grant for $149, 259 to develop a proof-of-concept, discipline agnostic, open homework repository system with the extensibility to integrate into learning management systems.

The cost of course materials is often compounded by the cost of homework platforms, and instructors wanting to adopt open and free resources struggle to do so without access to user-friendly open homework resources.

VIVA and our partners plan to address this problem by developing an open homework repository that can be integrated into an institutional LMS.

We are excited to begin this important work! This grant will run from August 2022 to August 2024.
