“61% of #firstgen students didn’t buy a book due to cost, & later felt it hurt their performance.” - #openCI White Paper. With results like this, textbook costs have clearly become a social justice issue. #OER #studentequity #realcollege #textbookbroke csuci.edu/tli/openci/openci-…

Year after year, the CSU remains one of the most affordable university systems in the nation, with about half of its students graduating with 0⃣ loan debt. In fact, 80% of students receive some type of financial aid.

Nothing like waking up in #Cali at 3am to present virtually at a #London conference. (The moderator broke for lunch following our presentation.) 🙃
Maybe one of these years, COVID will let us actually meet in person, #OER22. Until then: Well done, @JaimeHannans & @TomClobes!

Students are choosing @WHCLemoore due to the success of their #OER centered #ZTC program. 65% of their courses have Zero Textbook Costs! As the @CalCommColleges expand ZTC, West Hills Lemoore continues to set an excellent example hubs.li/Q018Rkv-0

In addition to saving #students $$$, #OER addresses “the urgent issue of #basicneeds… grants equal #access… helps #retention & course #completion… [and] affords [faculty] the freedom to create culturally relevant & community-based #learningmaterials...”

“Perhaps the question of #OER adoption should not be solely focused on individual #faculty usage, but on the institutional supports put in place for faculty… in pursuit of innovative #teaching methodologies.”

“With ~66% of #students… [not buying required #textbooks] it is becoming increasingly clear that many are losing out on their academic experience not out of choice but financial circumstance. This is why the university transition to #OER must happen now.“ recorder.com/ltr-Le-OER-s-Pa…
