OEP@TWU

College is an expensive endeavor for most students, and with the costs of textbooks steadily increasing, many students, especially the economically challenged, find college out of reach. River Parishes Community College faculty Dr. Esperanza Zenon is tackling this issue by utilizing and promoting the use of Open Education Resources (OER). This presentation will focus on using Open Education Resources (OER) in STEM and CTE courses as a way of promoting equity by reducing costs for learning materials. Resources, tools, and processes utilized to evaluate, adopt, and adapt the OER materials utilized in STEM and CTE courses will be discussed.
