OER Student Advocacy: ISU Textbook Heroes

This guide provides information on Open Educational Resources (OER): what OER is, how it helps students, and why use OER.

ISU Textbook Heroes

Textbook Heroes LogoMeet our ISU Textbook Heroes! Textbook heroes are members of the ISU community who have promoted or adopted low-cost or free course materials, including open educational resources (OER), helping ISU students save on the cost of course materials and showing an outstanding commitment to student retention and success. The Textbook Heroes initiative exists to express our gratitude and appreciation for those working to make course materials more affordable. 

This initiative was launched in Fall 2020, and we hope to announce a new cohort of heroes each year. Do you know a faculty member, administrator, or student working to make course materials more affordable at ISU?
