“61% of #firstgen students didn’t buy a book due to cost, & later felt it hurt their performance.” - #openCI White Paper. With results like this, textbook costs have clearly become a social justice issue. #OER #studentequity #realcollege #textbookbroke https://t.co/YJCmZXeNtT

Year after year, the CSU remains one of the most affordable university systems in the nation, with about half of its students graduating with 0⃣ loan debt. In fact, 80% of students receive some type of financial aid.

Nothing like waking up in #Cali at 3am to present virtually at a #London conference. (The moderator broke for lunch following our presentation.) 🙃

Maybe one of these years, COVID will let us actually meet in person, #OER22. Until then: Well done, @JaimeHannans & @TomClobes!

[Michelson 20MM Foundation @Michelson20MM]

Students are choosing @WHCLemoore due to the success of their #OER centered #ZTC program. 65% of their courses have Zero Textbook Costs! As the @CalCommColleges expand ZTC, West Hills Lemoore continues to set an excellent example https://t.co/ZEe3jRPZR6

So thankful for this conversation with @JJacobJenkins, Director of @CAopenEd, to discuss the award-winning textbook affordability research at @csuci, the benefits of #OER, and #firstgen students' navigational capitol https://t.co/5XBHk5deus

@jsecker @CityUniLEaD Hey, I want to see that too. :) Following!

Exciting #OER news!! @AACU, with @iskme and @openstax, is seeking applications for the 2022-2023 Institute on Open Educational Resources - "designed for educators seeking to launch, expand, or hasten campus adoption of" OER. https://t.co/lxm8EtkVB5 #IOER #highered #open

[J. Jacob Jenkins @JJacobJenkins]

In addition to saving #students $$$, #OER addresses “the urgent issue of #basicneeds… grants equal #access… helps #retention & course #completion… [and] affords [faculty] the freedom to create culturally relevant & community-based #learningmaterials...”

“Perhaps the question of #OER adoption should not be solely focused on individual #faculty usage, but on the institutional supports put in place for faculty… in pursuit of innovative #teaching methodologies.”

“With ~66% of #students… [not buying required #textbooks] it is becoming increasingly clear that many are losing out on their academic experience not out of choice but financial circumstance. This is why the university transition to #OER must happen now.“ https://t.co/y6sr4YO4hZ
