Flexibility
Move beyond the restraints of traditional pedagogy and explore new ways to connect students with learning content. Open Educational Resources allow instructors to customize course content to the specific learning goals of their courses and adapt new approaches to teaching and learning.
Affordability
With the rising cost of higher education, every dollar counts. The ballooning cost of expensive textbooks and course materials is outpacing inflation and wages, resulting in a negative impact on students. The 2016-2017 report from the National Association of College Stores found students spent an average of $579 on their required course materials.
Student Success and Retention
One study shows that 65% of students don't buy textbooks due to the cost, even when they know it will affect their grade. Nearly 50% of students reported that the cost of textbooks directly impacts what types and the number of classes students are able to take. Help your students succeed by using no-cost textbooks and course materials.
