This guide is intended to introduce you to Open Educational Resources (OERs).
The guide includes OER used by CSI faculty and recommendations for discipline-specific resources.
If you are a faculty member interested in using OER materials for your course, please contact Christina Boyle, OER Library Liaison.
If you are a student who has taken courses using OER and would like to share your experiences, please email us your thoughts.
Since the launch of CSI's OER program in 2017 to 2020, students have saved $1,433,187 in textbook costs.
Browse this guide to learn more about how you can convert your course to OER, the tools available to you, and what faculty at CSI are already using.
The COVID-19 pandemic has required a rapid response by educators to meet student needs. CSI has transitioned to mostly distance learning for the present and the physical library space is closed until further notice.
Many instructors might find themselves looking for resources that are easily accessible and don't require an in-person visit to the library. Open Educational Resources (OER), are free and openly available instructional materials (including textbooks) that are born digital and available from anywhere with an internet connection.
