Textbook Alternatives Help RCC Students Save Money - Nanuet Patch

Rockland Community College students will save at least $150,000 this academic year thanks to the growing use of alternatives to costly textbooks. A number of RCC professors are using Open Educational Resources (OERs) in a variety of classes this year, with the use of the materials only expected to grow in the near future. A total of 31 class sections used OER materials in the Fall semester, saving RCC students $67,400 in textbook costs. At least 33 sections will use OERs in the spring, for a projected savings of over $83,000; that number could go even higher. https://patch.com/new-york/nanuet/textbook-alternatives-help-rcc-students-save-money
