As the price of both tuition and textbooks rises dramatically, students,
educators, and even legislators are increasingly turning to Open
Educational Resources (OER) for a more sustainable alternative.
Institutions interested in launching an OER initiative must consider:

·       How the latest OER research applies to your institution and students

·       How to plan an OER initiative, including securing funding, finding
campus partnerships, and sustainability

·       Where to find existing OER materials on campus

·       Technical and support needs for the new materials
