James Wilson, Associate Professor at Colorado State University Fort Collins hasn’t used a single for-profit book in his Computational Algebra classes in years. He and his students happily use open educational resources for textbooks. Wilson knows how to find high-quality OER publications that deliver benefits like lower costs for students and reduce the onerous marking strain on professors. He also knows that the right OER provides professors opportunities to teach the latest research and even make areas like math and science more inclusive by moving away from traditional texts and homework assignments that often lack diverse perspectives.
