OPEN TEXTBOOK / OER COLLECTION

Open textbooks and Open Educational Resources (OER) represent innovative and accessible approaches to education in the digital age. Open textbooks are freely available learning materials that are typically distributed online and can be used, shared, and adapted by educators and students without any cost barriers. They cover a wide range of subjects and are designed to replace expensive traditional textbooks, easing the financial burden on students and promoting greater equity in education. On the other hand, OER encompasses a broader spectrum of freely accessible learning resources, including lecture notes, videos, quizzes, and more.
