Textbooks in the Digital Age

A new Open Educational Resources (OER) fellowship program aims to help faculty replace traditional (and expensive) textbooks entirely. Several disciplines have already implemented the use of OERs in their courses, including astronomy, physics, engineering, and math. Faculty members and the Office of E-Learning, Innovation, and Teaching Excellence are working together to explore more ways to use or create OERs in the classroom. The effort kicked off in the spring semester.
