The Alabama Commission on Higher Education and the Alabama Community College System are working in tandem to provide grants to educators for training in creating online textbooks for students in Alabama colleges. “One of the barriers to higher education is the combined high cost of tuition, room and board, student fees, and educational materials,” said ACHE Executive Director Jim Purcell. “Tuition is not determined by state agencies. However, we can help curtail the cost of higher education by supporting low-cost to no cost textbooks and other educational materials.”
