OSU\u2019s Open Education Resources Unit has a goal to lower the cost of learning for students. Open educational resources (OER) aim to increase the world\u2019s access to knowledge through low- and no-cost open textbooks and reusable, digital learning materials. Through the use of OER, OSU students have saved nearly $10 million since the winter of 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This spring, the Open Educational Resources Unit \u2014 a part of the division of Ecampus \u2014  is hosting several professional development opportunities for faculty to learn more about OER and how to implement them in their courses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
