UI faculty create open-source materials to save students money, better serve class needs - Emily Nelson, University of Iowa

OpenHawks grant projects estimated to save students $100,000 in first year.  Ted Neal, clinical associate professor in the UI College of Education, is one of many Iowa instructors creating and providing open educational resources (OER) to customize their teaching materials save students money. From audio exercises to practice recognizing and pronouncing American English sounds to a textbook about global aging, developing and promoting the use of open educational resources (OER) is yet another creative way the University of Iowa is helping decrease college costs for students.
