Achieving the Dream recently released a study on Open Educational Resources (OER) that indicates, “students are at least as or more engaged using OER courses than students in non-OER classrooms.” At the same time, “students saved, on average, about $134 per course.” Read the eCampus News article to learn more, “Report: Faculty want more OER-here’s why.”
