Event shows students benefits of open educational resources - Sergio Medina, San Antonio College Ranger

On small white erase boards, a question read, “What would I do with the money I had to spend on textbooks?” Using a marker, liberal arts freshman Mackensie Villareal wrote down “bought my child more school supplies and save for Christmas.” This was the scene at Alamo Open’s textbook awareness event March 7 in the courtyard west of Moody Learning Center. It was part of OER Awareness Week. The event was coordinated by Phillip Anaya, open educational resources and digital coordinator of the Alamo Colleges, and volunteer Carrie Warren. http://theranger.org/2018/03/15/event-shows-students-benefits-of-open-educational-resources/
