Affordable and open educational resources
Learn more about these resources
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.
Faculty services
Services for faculty include answering questions about copyright and Creative Commons, help finding OERs for your class, help deciding how to evaluate OERs, and answering questions about adapting or creating OERs.
