Join the Spring OER Innovation Quest
The high cost of textbooks and course materials is an often overlooked factor that can influence student success. Open Educational Resources, or OER, are free-to-access textbooks and other course materials instructors can use in their courses to provide more equitable learning opportunities for students.
OER have been shown to impact student performance and retention, especially for low-income and first-generation students. 蜜桃影像 courses with assigned materials totaling less than $40 are tagged as 鈥淣oLo鈥 (No or Low-Cost Textbooks) in 蜜桃影像 course schedule descriptions. Since 蜜桃影像 started tracking these courses, we estimate students have saved around $704,000.
Join the Spring 2023 OER Innovation Quest and become an education superhero by saving your students money on textbooks and materials! Implementing OER in a course or program requires imagination, creativity and innovation. The OER Innovation Quest is designed to help instructors learn about open education resources and transition their courses to NoLo status through a streamlined and fun program. The Quest runs from Feb. 8 - May 16 with a successful completion award of $1,000.
by Feb. 5!
