What's New: Updated 19 March 2021

Just before Christmas 2020, OhioLINK announced their receipt of a $2.5M grant through the Governor's Emergency Education Relief Funding initiative. These grant dollars were used to purchase access to additional online resources to help Ohio faculty and students with teaching and learning in online or hybrid environments.

These resources are listed below. Additional information for faculty can be found at OhioLINK's guide to GEER resources for faculty.
