Abstract:

We wanted to let the OER community know that Smarthistory.org, the Webby-award winning, free and open educational resource for the study of art history has launched a Kickstarter campaign to create needed content and as part of its sustainability strategy.

We urge those of you who support our project to offer a free and open alternative to the expensive art history textbook to donate to our Kickstarter campaign. Small donations ($5-$10) and larger ones too (!) are most welcome. We need to keep up the early momentum on Kickstarter to continue to be a featured site for them and although we raised more than 40% of our goal the first week, yesterday, donations have lagged.

Help prove crowd-funding can work for OERs!

Many thanks in advance.
