Summary:
"Equipped with a new $16,235 Performance Incentive Fund grant from the state, however, Mount Wachusett is zeroing in on a potential solution for cash-strapped students: Open Educational Resources. Already being used on a small-scale on campus, Open Educational Resources are widely available, usually free academic materials online that can be assembled by college librarians and professors into curricular replacements for textbooks."
