“Costs have gotten as bad as
they can get, so any step you
take [seems to] lead in a better
direction. The question is: How
quickly will that path end up
right back where we started?”

Equity, Pedagogy and Open Education
This document discusses the high cost of textbooks and the barriers it poses for students. It presents open educational resources (OER) as a solution that can help make education more affordable and accessible. OER are teaching and learning materials that are free to use and distribute. The document argues that universities should incentivize faculty creation and adoption of OER to lower costs for students and promote equity. It also cautions that initiatives claiming to be open still need to uphold open values of inclusiveness and removing barriers to participation.

Open education resources are one solution to this growing problem. This starts with faculty and staff at universities and community colleges taking a hard look at the required materials for their courses and deciding whether or not the price tag is worth it. — Jimmieka Mills
