MCC offers use of Open Education Resources - Lowell Sun

Middlesex Community College is offering the use of Open Educational Resources, or OERs. The online course materials -- including lectures, homework assignments, quizzes and labs --are copyright-free or have a license that allows for free reuse and redistribution. Enrolling in courses using OERs can translate into considerable savings for students, according to Donna Maturi, coordinator of library services. MCC students saved $134,590 in textbook costs over the 2016-17 academic year through the use of OERs, she said. http://www.lowellsun.com/news/ci_32264898/mcc-offers-use-open-education-resources
