Equity in Access to Educational Materials Drives Adoption of OERs

Post secondary education is expensive. One strategy that will keep supplemental costs down for students is faculty adoption of open educational resources (OER). OERs are freely available, no-cost educational literature and resources that can be integrated into courses as an alternative to traditional textbook selections. Through adoption of OERs and grant sponsored eTexts, I have been able to save my McNeese students more than $53,600 over the past 5 years!
