Harper partners with OpenStax to increase use of free textbooks - Harper College

One positive outcome, Bates said, is that students will spend less overall on textbooks and related course materials, which may enable them to enroll in more courses and complete their degree or certificate more swiftly.To maximize impact, Harper will target high-enrollment courses and courses in which the entire department collaborates to adopt OER or no-cost/low-cost resources. Harper students have saved $300,000 already through OER adoptions in a variety of disciplines including computer information systems, English, math and sociology. https://www.harpercollege.edu/about/news/archives/2018/posts/082318.php
