Opening textbooks for all: open education Rachel Becker, The Clarion of Madison Area Technical College

However, one tool has emerged to help address this situation: open educational resources. These resources provide the same curricula support as traditional textbooks but are published under a copyright license that lets anyone access them online or print them for free. Unlike other freely available content floating around the internet, open educational resources are often extensively peer reviewed by subject experts and contain high quality up to date information. Instructors can customize course content to fit their teaching style and preferences by reorganizing the online content or adding their own updates.
