Website says GHC students get ‘best bang’ for their tuition bucks - DONNA HARRIS, Daily Tribune

“GHC continues to research and implement new ways to make the college experience at GHC financially stress-free, including efforts to eliminate textbook costs and providing free digital options,” he said. “GHC’s faculty have been working since fall 2015 to expand open education resources courses each semester. Through spring 2018, GHC’s faculty has helped students save roughly $6.48 million with offerings in 25 courses across 250 classes.” OER course conversions are aided by the USG’s Affordable Learning Georgia initiative, “which promotes student success by providing cost-free alternatives to expensive textbooks,” Jones said. “The new OERs don’t just provide free textbooks either,” he said. “Students also get video resources, software, labs and an enhanced textbook experience with hyperlinks to many other resources.” http://www.daily-tribune.com/stories/website-says-ghc-students-get-best-bang-for-their-tuition-bucks,20193
