Cost savings and return on investment

Graphic of a table looking at characteristics of learning material options, looking at whether materials are openly licensed, free from cost, free from personal data sharing, available in perpetuity, and available when a course starts.

OER, OA, and Affordable Materials

Graphic that reads Open Educational Resources. Freely available to read and share online. Openly licensed to facilitate "no fuss" adaptation, remixing, and redistribution, including in print.
Graphic that reads Affordable Educational Materials. Materials that are free or low-cost (typically under $50). The focus is on cost to read, not adaptation. Open licensing is not required. Includes low-cost textbooks, rentals, library materials, and free content such as OER.
Graphic that reads Open Access Content. Research and scholarly content that is published free to read without barriers. Open licenses used vary, and may include CC BY NC ND (no adapt or remix). Content may be shared through an OA publisher or a repository.

These graphics were adapted by Abbey K. Elder from original graphics by Robert Ladd at NSCC’s Teaching Center, who graciously gave the authors permission to use his work.
