Open educational resources (OER) are free and open access alternatives to commercial course materials. In this session, we will cover the background of textbook costs in the US and their impact on students, then go over what OER are and how they work (both practically and in terms of copyright). We will then address how to find, adopt, and create OER for health sciences. The concluding discussion will include recommended resources and ways to get involved with open education communities, as well as an overview of support available at UK.
