4 Why OER matters for students?
- Cost savings: Textbooks can cost hundreds of dollars per course. OER are free to access, meaning you’ll spend less on learning and more on what matters to you.
- Access and equity: OER ensures that all students have equal access to course materials from the first day of class. This means that students do not have to wait for loans, financial aid, or bookstore stock.
- Customizable and inclusive content: OER can be revised and adapted to reflect diverse voices, updated research, and culturally relevant examples. This helps make your learning experience more inclusive, engaging, and representative of your community.
