Last week, Nicolet announced that their Open Education Resource program has now exceeded $1.5 million in textbook savings for students. Cindy Domaika helped launch the program in the fall of 2018. She says, "The cost of attending college is a huge factor for many of our students and this is just one way we've been able to ease the financial challenges of earning the college education that will help them get ahead in life," Rather than relying on students purchasing textbooks and other course materials, instructors utilize programs such as OER Commons. Accessible online, educators openly share peer-reviewed instructional material such as electronic textbooks and PowerPoint presentations.
