Meet Jessica. Textbooks don't always keep her attention in class, but thanks to Open Educational Resources, she's found a new interest.
Textbooks can be really boring. Let’s be honest. Sometimes, I find it really hard to concentrate and even harder to understand what I’m supposed to be learning when an instructor asks me to read through our textbook.
That’s why I’m so excited about one of the classes I’m taking this semester. In it, I’m using Open Educational Resources, including a zero cost textbook. What does that mean? I didn’t have to pay for my text and it’s a digital textbook! I can read it anywhere and, best of all, it’s really interactive. My teacher even uploads videos about the ideas I’m learning which really helps me grasp concepts we learn about.
Best of all, there are even more of these zero cost textbook classes being offered next semester than ever and only at Lemoore College.
It’s easy to find a class that uses open educational resources. Just click below to view the full schedule of classes using free OER textbooks below for Summer 2018, Fall 2018 and Spring 2019.
