Learn how a small university with limited seed funding developed a plan to incentivize faculty in reviewing, adopting and authoring OER. We’ll share benefits and challenges of our strategy, how we were able to obtain permanent sustainable funding, and the way we designed a Library Textbook Affordability Program by combining OER and library ebooks. Future plans for continued growth and momentum among faculty and students will also be discussed.
