For Ohio University, an OER partnership outpaces expectations - Patrice Wait, edScoop

The public university says students will save $1 million in textbook fees this year — about double what it initially projected from its deal with Top Hat. The struggles of college students to afford textbooks are well known. Prices for textbooks have risen more than 1,000 percent since 1977, three times faster than tuition costs, and a 2014 study found that 65 percent of students decided not to buy a required textbook because it was too expensive. https://edscoop.com/oer-generates-big-savings-for-ohio-university-students
