The Librarians can help! We can meet with you to discuss existing OERs or if you prefer to learn more at your own pace, you can join an OER practicum. Please email the library at lwnixon@butlercc.edu or call either one of our locations.
Open Educational Resources (OERs) can be textbooks, worksheets, modules, and other items to help you learn content for your classes. OERs are created by academics/professors and are openly provided for free or at a low cost to students. At Butler, many classes have already switched from using traditional textbooks to low or zero-cost OERs. Find out more below.
