Description
In this session, we will discuss the basics of open textbooks and Open Educational Resources (OER). We will look at how they work, the benefits that they offer to faculty and students alike, and some examples of successful OER initiatives at other universities. In addition, we will provide a brief introduction to the Open Textbook Initiative, a program at Southern Miss that offers faculty an incentive to develop and adopt an open textbook in their courses.
