Open Educational Resources (OER) are a thriving resource that have many benefits for students. OERs are a cost-effective solution for the increasing price of traditional textbooks. The content is mutable, as it can be updated and distributed in real-time. This can help avoid the problem of revised, multiple editions of print textbooks. OERs are also curated electronically. This migration from paper to digital content makes them more green and sustainable.
What are some benefits that faculty have in creating OERs? What are some other materials besides textbooks can be derived from OERs?
To answer these questions, you can use the resources found in the City Tech Library’s OER Libguide or the video for the first week of the syllabus.
