A $165,534.84 grant from the U.S. Department of Education was awarded to Cochise College to facilitate Open Educational Resources. "This is a great opportunity to make higher education more accessible and affordable for students," said Dr. Wendy Ashby, instructional designer at the college's Faculty Support Center. OER are teaching, learning, research and classroom materials that are free for students to access and use with few or no restrictions. "Generally speaking, this means working with Creative Commons licensing," said Ashby.
