Slashing textbook costs a priority for BCC instructors
OER Daniel Buller
Barton Community College instructor Daniel Buller nows teaches four of Barton’s 12 OER-certified classes with no textbook costs.
A dozen different courses at Barton Community College are now offered with no textbook costs thanks to an effort by instructors to shift to other types of resources. The movement in higher education is called Open Educational Resources (OER). At Barton, it’s referred to as low-cost and no-cost.
