EKU Libraries publishes Open Educational Resources (OERs) to reduce barriers to student success and to empower faculty to creatively customize content for their classes. We work with EKU faculty and departments to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed open access textbooks designed specifically for their courses. These resources are free to students at our university and to anyone in the world to download, remix, and build upon.
In this brief video, EKU faculty reflect on their experiences teaching with OERs.
