Colorado Community College System to Launch, Enhance OER Courses - Tiffany Pennamon, Diverse Education

Students enrolled at the thirteen institutions within Colorado’s Community College System (CCCS) will save millions annually as the colleges continue to invest in open educational resources (OER) that spare students the burden of purchasing expensive textbooks or course materials. Due to a recent $163,000 grant from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, several CCCS colleges will begin expanding and implementing OER projects that aim to foster educational equity, improve student retention, completion and success and make students’ education affordable. CCCS’ grant from the commission is part of a wider $550,000 investment in OER throughout the state. https://diverseeducation.com/article/142130/
