“Our faculty have been working on what’s called open education resources,” Dean of Arts & Sciences Alan Worley said. “This is a no textbook no online supplemental components so it will be free for our students.” The cost of a college degree is going up and has been for decades. The administration at South Plains College is taking steps to lower their costs. “Our faculty are working hard as far as trying to find ways to save them money,” Worley said. “By producing materials they can have for free on the first day of class.” Those OER’s saved nearly $700,000 for students over the fall semester.
