Alternatives to Open: Zero Cost Textbooks
In addition to open educational resources, the costs of learning materials can be reduced by leveraging library resources and exceptions to copyright. In this session, we will provide an overview of how educators can use these alternatives to OER to support low-cost student learning. Topics discussed will include barriers to OER adoption, using library materials in teaching, and fair dealing for education.
