Professor Genevieve G. Shaker and doctoral student Meng-Han Ho have received the 2024 IUPUI Open Education Award for having co-produced and published, “Giving and Volunteering in America,” an OER to be used in 100 level Philanthropic Studies courses. The book contains 39 primary sources, exploring the unique giving and voluntary behavior of Americans. The text is used by over 125 students a year across 6 sections. Ease of online access, high quality, topical relevance and the absence of cost to students make this OER an excellent replacement for a traditional textbook.
