Alamo Colleges looks to expand free textbook courses - Janie Medelez, THE RANGER

Alamo Colleges was one of the recipients for Achieving The Dream grant in developing faculty adoption of open educational resources. OERs are free educational materials in the public domain and copyright-free. The materials range from textbooks to full course modules, syllabi, lectures and classroom activities designed for teaching and learning. OERs are created and then housed in their own repositories in which materials can be accessed; Corsera, Khan Academy, Merlot, Wikibooks, and OpenStax are some examples of unlimited resources available. http://theranger.org/2019/04/05/alamo-colleges-looks-to-expand-free-textbook-courses/
