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
