The Textbook Cost Crisis #ZTCDegree
The document discusses the rising costs of higher education and textbooks. It notes that between 1988 and 2012, state funding for public higher education decreased while tuition revenue increased, placing greater financial burden on students. The average estimated cost of books and supplies for undergraduate students in 2014-2015 was $1,225-1,328. Open educational resources are presented as an alternative to traditional textbooks in order to make learning materials more affordable and accessible to students.
