The University of Nevada, Reno is a partner in advocating for both affordable educational resources and open educational resources (OERs). Affordable educational resources increase the affordability of educational materials for students. Open educational resources (OERs) are any material used in the classroom to help students learn that have been made freely available online and licensed for other to reuse them.
