Free Textbooks Pilot Program to Be Offered — At ECC This Summer - Amanda Postma, Missourian

In addition to higher tuition and general fees, East Central College also will offer a pilot program this summer to help students save money on books. The program will introduce open educational resources (OER) to the institution. “Basically, open educational resources are teaching, learning and research materials that are copyright-free or have a license that allows for reuse,” explained Robyn Walter, interim vice president of academic affairs. “Students will get the same resources for little or no cost.” http://www.emissourian.com/local_news/education/free-textbooks-pilot-program-to-be-offered-at-ecc-this/article_97af27bc-41da-11e9-9c7e-3b4ab975c50d.html
