Abstract
As the cost of a college education continues to rise, students are piling on debt and recent graduates are struggling under the weight of loans. The Cougars Affordable Learning Materials Project (CALM) aims to aid faculty in replacing costly textbooks by using high-quality open educational resources (OER), library resources, digital or customized textbooks, and/or faculty-authored materials. Presenters will lead participants in a session on how to identify OER and how they can create their own sessions.
