SUMMARY:Keeping Courses Affordable with Open Educational Resources
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) now requires faculty to include an itemized cost breakdown of all textbooks and learning materials\, both required and optional\, in their course outlines. Seeing high course fees can be discouraging to students. \n One potential solution to keep costs down is through the use of Open Educational Resources (OER). OER are learning\, teaching\, and research materials that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open licence permitting no-cost access (UNESCO). By using OER textbooks available through eCampus Ontario\, faculty have saved students in Ontario over $26 million dollars.  \nJoin the Toronto Metropolitan University Libraries\, the Centre for Excellence in Learning & Teaching\, and the Chang School to learn how the MCU directive will impact your teaching\, and how you can leverage Open Educational Resources to reduce costs and make your courses more appealing to students. We will review how to find\, adapt\, and create OERs\, and hear from a panel of faculty and students about their experience with OERs.
