Open Educational Resources

Follow These Easy Steps

  1. Check your course outline of record -- Make sure your OER match your learning objectives.
  2. Contact the ELAC Bookstore -- Make sure they know to list your OER(s) as your textbook.
  3. Contact your department chair -- Let them know you will be using OER so your course can be designated in the SIS as either "Zero Textbook Cost" or "Low Textbook Cost." 

  1. Share your experiences with others in your department!
