Open educational resources (OER) are teaching, learning, or research resources that are in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits the free use, adaptation, or redistribution of the resource by any person. These resources may include textbooks, readings, videos, simulations, games, and course content such as quizzes/exams, assignments, and assessment tools. OER materials are often digital and available to faculty and students through a variety of sources including the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Repository OERTX<https://oertx.highered.texas.gov/>.

Utilizing OER is another way that faculty can remove barriers and support students. Texas A&M University-Commerce is committed to working with faculty to reduce textbook costs and make higher education more affordable, as well as maintain the highest quality in instructional materials.  Join us to explore ideas and resources to champion affordability and assist students to achieve their educational goals.
