Introduction to OER for students
Open educational resources are low or no-cost course materials students can access and use in their coursework.
Follow the instructions below to find these options in the course schedule:
Three places where you can look for online textbooks to complement your studies are:
OpenStax (Rice University)
The Open Education Network’s Open Textbook Library
If you have a professor using free materials or low cost materials, let them know you appreciate the work they’ve put into developing their course! If having no costs for materials in a course is a benefit for you, let your faculty member know that, too.
There are campus resources here to help you! While not all resources directly target course materials costs, they can help in other ways. Check out the student care center resources, which includes information about the Roadrunner Food Pantry and a Single Stop Public Benefit Screener.
