UF All Access | Adopt/Adapt OER | Create OER | Leverage the Libraries | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Why this option? | A quick option that reduces costs for commercially published textbooks. | Invest the time you have to find free books, modules, and other media created by others. Tweak and add your own content to make OER more relevant or rigorous for your students. | A bigger time investment that allows maximum control over course content at no cost to students. | Take advantage of databases, articles, books, and even textbooks the Libraries already pay for. |
