UTA CARES Grant Program
Creation of this OER was funded by the UTA CARES Grant Program, which is sponsored by UTA Libraries. Under the auspices of UTA’s Coalition for Alternative Resources in Education for Students (CARES), the grant program supports educators interested in practicing open education through the adoption of OER and, when no suitable open resource is available, through the creation of new OER or the adoption of library-licensed or other free content. Additionally, the program promotes innovation in teaching and learning through the exploration of open educational practices, such as collaborating with students to produce educational content of value to a wider community. Information about the grant program and funded projects is available online.
Author’s Note
I would like express my sincerest gratitude to Jessica McClean, Megan Zara, Daria Mendez and the entire Open Educational Resources (OER) team at the UTA Libraries for their generous support throughout this project. Thank you for every email, every conversation, and every moment you took to help me along the way!
I am also deeply grateful to the dedicated team at COERLL and their excellent work on the OER text Français interactif. This textbook and its supporting materials would not exist without their solid foundation and blueprint. It has been both a joy and an honor to build upon their work and carry forward their legacy by adapting it to my own teaching; je vous remercie mille fois!
Additionally, I would like to offer my heartfelt appreciation to Mirabelle Tinio and her team for Le Français Interactif – An Activity Companion Site, as well as to Boise State University for Français inclusif: An Interactive Textbook for French 101. Thank you both for these incredible resources that played an essential role in shaping, adapting, and enriching this curriculum. Your support has made a meaningful difference, and this curriculum is all the better because of you. Un grand merci aussi à vous!
