As registration approaches, consider registering for OER and Zero Textbook Cost courses!
Open Educational Resources are free and openly licensed (Creative Commons) educational materials that can be used for teaching, learning, research, and other purposes.
A growing number of courses are assigning OER and open textbooks instead of commercial textbooks, which has significantly lowered the cost barrier for students to enroll in courses.
Examples of OER:
- Construction Management II (CMCE 2321) by Prof. Anne Marie Sowder
- Computer Programming and Problem Solving (CST 1101) by Prof. Elena Filatova
- Health and Safety in Production (ENT 1102) by Prof. Sue Brandt
