I was awarded a grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to jump-start my journey to using Open Educational Resources. Under this grant, I switched two lower-level statistics courses to using OERs. This switch has alleviated any added cost to the students for materials for these courses, saving students over $100 per person, per class. This presentation describes the journey to finding and implementing the e-textbook and homework platform and what we’ve learned along the way. We will also discuss how this change has impacted our students, both financially and academically.
