Open or Zero Cost Resources & Student Success
Open Educational Resources (OERs)
are teaching, learning and research materials that reside in the public domain
or have been released under an open license that permits no-cost access, use,
adaptation and redistribution by others with no or limited restrictions
(UNESCO, 2019). Zero cost resources are materials that can be accessed without
cost to the user. In this brief informational session, we will highlight
research on the impact of OER/ZTC materials to reduce educational barriers and
promote student success, describe efforts across the university system to
promote the adoption and creation of OER/ZTC
for the benefit of students and provide guidance on next steps to
explore these resources.
