Abstract
The rising cost of textbooks is often a barrier to students' ability to access their required learning materials and fully participating in their courses and succeed in their studies. This presentation gives an overview of why Open Education Resources (OER) should be used and what OER are. Further, it presents national research on the effectiveness and perceptions of OER as compared to textbooks by John Hilton and then shares data from the Spring 2019 Report on Affordable Learning Georgia. Affordable Learning Georgia is an OER University of Georgia System initiative. This presentation also gives a brief review of OER resources available to faculty at KSU and encourages faculty and student participate in the OER movement through available channels.
