Hudson Valley Community College is in its third year of adopting open educational resources (OER). According to a news release, OER are open-source instructional materials, written by experts, that faculty can adopt and adapt based upon their curriculum, often negating the need for students to purchase a textbook. The use of OER not only saves money for students but also allows faculty members to provide customizable content for their classes.
