Panola College to eliminate the cost of student textbooks - Kassandra Merritt, KTBS

Starting next fall most students at Panola College won't have the burden of paying for textbooks anymore. The community college is transitioning to using low-cost or no-cost open education resources or OER instead of the traditional textbooks. An OER is either a textbook, video or other instructructional material that's open to the public or has an open license. https://www.ktbs.com/news/panola-college-to-eliminate-the-cost-of-student-textbooks/article_13d8a104-661d-11e9-abad-d366dfe23b6a.html
