Imagine going to a school where you didn’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on heavy, out of date textbooks. The Zero Textbook Cost initiative makes this dream a reality at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU). Zero Textbook Cost courses at KPU use publicly available and often digital materials rather than traditional textbooks. Known as Open Education Resources (OERs), these interactive textbooks, worksheets, videos, and more mean learning is no longer limited to reading. It also allows access to a larger variety of interesting content that makes learning more approachable.
