Did you know that textbook costs have risen over 800% since 1978?
Â
Through Thursday, you'll receive daily emails exploring how Open Educational Resources (OER) and Affordable Course Materials can enhance your teaching while reducing costs for your learners.
Â
What are Open Educational Resources and Affordable Course Materials?Â
Â
OER and Affordable Course Materials are teaching and learning resources that reduce learner costs while maintaining academic quality.
These materials can be freely used, modified, and shared to:
- Align perfectly with your course objectives and teaching approach
- Give learners immediate access to materials on day one
- Contribute to making higher education more accessible
Start Small, Think BigÂ
Â
You don't have to transform your entire course at once. Even incorporating a single open resource can make a significant impact on learner success. Through Thursday, we'll show you how faculty across UAH have successfully integrated these materials into their courses.
