When discussing a student’s ability to achieve an undergraduate degree, the topic of textbooks has increasingly come to the fore. While less significant than tuition, room, or board, textbooks and other learning materials represent an increasingly significant cost for any undergraduate student. As a solution, many educators, organizations, and some companies have proposed Open Educational Resources (OER). While OER has often been viewed as a means to make college more affordable, few have drilled deeper into the issue. A recent study, however, proposes that OER can address issues of equity in higher education by making a bigger difference in college affordability for some communities who tend to be underrepresented on campus.

Robin Good: Daniel W. Rasmus has an interesting article on his blog entitled: "The Future of Campus Stores: Good-Bye Books, Hello Learning". In it he analyzes the key elements that will help such campus stores maintain their relevancy while traditional textbooks are rapidly loosing thir foothold inside academic campuses. He writes: "College bookstores face an existential crisis with the looming demise of physical book sales as digital technology rapidly becomes an option for learners. At the same time free content, via websites like the Kahn Academy, or through more proprietary means, like Apple’s iTunes University (now iTunes U). And then there is the rise of open sourced content available places like the Open Education Resources Commons (OER). So what should college stores consider as the elements that will help make them relevant as their core mission apparently shifts?" And one of the key elements that he sees potentially providing new meaning and relevance to campus bookstores, as a knowledge service, is content curation. "One specific instance of high-quality, knowledge-based service is content curation. As the content world becomes more complex, the college store can offer value added resources to faculty and students to help them understand the options they have, and the relative value of different sources of information and approaches to the delivery of that information. Think about content now as software. The educator can write a specification or requirements document and the store team, like programmers, can assemble a solution for the educator that meets his or her specification. Like programmers, the language or technique doesn’t matter to the solution recipient, what matters is that the software meets the requirements and delivers its expected value." Insightful.

The sticker shock of college textbooks—up 73 percent over the past decade—is daunting to any student. But the strain on wallets is especially acute among low-income, minority students. So much so that textbook costs often stand between them and graduation: Students who don’t complete college are over 50 percent more likely than those who graduate to cite textbook costs as a major financial barrier, according to research firm Public Agenda.

Guest post by Steve Baule, Educational Leadership Professor at the University of Wisconsin – Superior: As the school year begins, one of the struggles many teachers have is finding good repositories of Open Education Resources (OER). The two biggest challenges to using OER sources seem to be finding them and having the time to curate those appropriate for one’s courses. The OER Commons is a core site with resources from pre-school through adult education. MERLOT is a search engine for finding curated OER resources. It provides some curation tools as well as resources. The Orange Grove is the Florida’s OER Depository. Ck12.org provides a find range of student support resources. Opened.com is a resource site that includes a wide range of assessment materials they cover all areas, but seem to have a wealth of math materials for all levels of students. College Open Textbooks is a great site for those looking to support dual credit or Advanced Placement courses. Additionally, College Open Textbooks includes a link to the OER Handbook for Educators 1.0, which is a good primer for those still learning about how to use OER sources. As the new school year starts, ensure your teachers have the resources to be successful in using OER sources. Happy New (School) Year! Via Jim Lerman
