This document discusses open educational resources (OER) as an alternative to traditional textbooks. It notes that the textbook market is dominated by a handful of major publishers, leading to high costs for students. On average, students spend over $1,200 per year on books and supplies. This has resulted in many students choosing not to purchase required textbooks or purchasing older editions. The document introduces OER as free and openly licensed educational materials that can be retained, reused, revised, remixed and redistributed. It provides examples of major OER initiatives from organizations like MIT, the OER Commons and OpenStax. The presenter advocates for OER as a way to reduce costs and ensure students have access to learning materials.

Tackling the Textbook Crisis: The Role of Open Educational Resources and Affordable Course Materials
#ACRL2017 OER Preconference
This document discusses the high cost of textbooks and argues for the adoption of open educational resources (OER) as an alternative. It notes that the traditional textbook market is a near-monopoly dominated by five major publishers, and that high prices are preventing many students from purchasing required books. In contrast, OER are freely available teaching materials that can be downloaded, edited, and shared under open licensing. The document cites examples of colleges that have successfully implemented full OER degree programs, reducing costs for students while maintaining or increasing academic outcomes. It positions open as a means to make education more affordable and accessible for all students.
#OER17: Communicating "Open"
The document discusses effective strategies for communicating about open educational resources (OER). It recommends knowing your audience, having a clear and repeated message focused on why OER are useful rather than just what they are, avoiding jargon, and showing examples of OER in action. The document also provides tips for responding to criticisms of OER, such as addressing errors constructively and emphasizing that OER allow for quick improvements. It stresses that communicating openly and factually about OER is important to counter misconceptions.
OER: Reducing Costs, Expanding Access, Improving Pedagogy
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and their benefits. It notes that OER can help reduce costs for students by providing free or low-cost textbooks and course materials. Adopting OER can also expand access to education by making resources available to any student with an internet connection.

OER: Reducing Costs, Expanding Access, Improving Efficacy (#UNTOA16)
The cost of college textbooks has grown to a point that virtually every campus is now seeking solutions. While many colleges and universities have successfully reduced costs through stop-gap measures such as rental programs and textbook reserves, the greatest potential for permanently solving the problem lies in Open Educational Resources (OER), which are academic materials that are freely available online for everyone to use, adapt, and share. Institutions across the country have begun to leverage OER to reduce textbook costs, expand access to information, and enable faculty to better tailor materials to their courses. This talk will provide an overview of the OER movement to date, how it is playing out on campus, and research showing the impact on students. It will also help frame opportunities in the open, digital environment to improve teaching, learning and research for the advancement of society.
Advancing OER through Open Government
Open education has been gaining visibility and momentum as part of open government initiatives — from open licensing of publicly-funded educational materials, to transparency in education funding, to leveraging open technologies and practices to increase the efficiency and efficacy of instruction. One important avenue for advancing these conversations is the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a multilateral initiative of more than 60 countries through which national governments make commitments to being more open, accountable and responsive to citizens. At least three countries involved in OGP have specifically adopted commitments to open education in their open government plans, the United States, Slovakia, and Spain, and numerous others are considering moving in this direction through an informal working group formed during the 2015 OGP Summit. Leading examples of OGP commitments in education include three international OER pilot programs run by the U.S. Department of State, and an initiative in the Slovak government to develop a procurement process for openly licensed educational resources. Alongside OGP, open education has also emerged in other international policy conversations, including the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This lightning talk will explore the connection between open education and open government, and opportunities for civil society members and government officials alike at the local, national and international levels.
#FLOERsummit2019 | Open Education: Past, Present, Future
This document discusses the history and future of open education. It outlines how the rising costs of textbooks have negatively impacted students and led to the growth of open educational resources (OER). OER are free to use and can be retained, reused, revised, remixed and redistributed. While OER use is increasing, traditional commercial publishers still dominate the textbook market. The future of open education will depend on whether cost-saving OER or profit-driven commercial materials are more widely adopted.
Open Access Textbooks
This document discusses open access textbooks. Open access textbooks are openly licensed textbooks offered online by their authors for free. They are created by faculty, researchers, and teams who are often supported by grants or foundations. Open access textbooks offer many advantages over traditional textbooks, including lower costs for students, easy customization, and immediate corrections. They can be found through catalogs like the University of Minnesota Open Access Textbook Catalog or publishers like OpenStax. The document encourages the use and creation of open access textbooks to help lower the costs of education for students.
Penn State #OERSummit16 Keynote
The document discusses the rising cost of textbooks and its negative impact on students. It notes that textbook prices have increased 812% since 1978, more than inflation or other costs like tuition. This has led to many students not being able to afford required textbooks. Open educational resources (OER) are presented as a solution to make education more affordable and effective. Tidewater Community College is highlighted for creating the first associate degree based entirely on OER. Research from Lumen Learning is cited showing improved student performance and passing rates when OER replaced traditional textbooks. The document concludes by suggesting ways Penn State could support OER adoption, like making sharing easy, considering OER before traditional materials, and supporting faculty development of OER.

#OESS18 | Holding the Line on Open in an Evolving Course Content Landscape
The open educational resources (OER) movement has grown considerably in the past decade. With this growth, we have seen new players enter the open education space from commercial publishers to learning platform companies. The entrance of these new players into the space is part of a larger shift in the course materials market as technology has changed both access to knowledge and the way students learn. New actors are putting considerable pressure on institutions to purchase new platforms and suites of materials below market price that often contain OER. Some of these platforms for delivery are part of a larger model often called “inclusive access” or “digital discount” programs. These new models and products beg the question, “what is actually best for students?” Providing open educational resources to students without barriers is truly the best way to ensure students have access to the materials they need. How do we make smart decisions on content and content delivery with changing technology and new actors in the OER space? This session will outline existing and new players in the OER movement and discuss strategies for choosing content delivery models.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
