Leveling the Academic Playing Field with Open Educational Resources (OER)

Presented By: Dr. Jay Amicangelo (Professor of Chemistry, Penn State Behrend), Ms. Lori Lysiak (Reference and Instruction Librarian, Penn State Altoona), Ms. James Tubman (Lecturer of Management, Penn State Lehigh Valley), Dr. Mark Capofari (Lecturer of Project and Supply Chain Management, Penn State Lehigh Valley).

Students often report not purchasing a textbook because it is too expensive or deferring a course due the high cost of texts. In this session, faculty share their experiences using freely available (OER) to replace or augment their textbooks and traditional lectures.

Facilitator: Rebecca McCormick (Instructional Designer, Penn State Behrend)
