Summary:

"Penn State Berks, a leader in developing open educational resources (OER) to enhance learning and lower the cost of education for students globally, will celebrate Open Education Week from March 27 to 31, an event promoted by the Open Education Consortium.

The highlight of the week will be an interactive open textbook display at the Boscov-Lakin Information Commons in the Thun Library on campus. Penn State University Libraries joined the Open Textbook Network in February 2017 to help further support the faculty’s use of, and students’ availability to, free, openly licensed academic course content.

The nonprofit Open Education Consortium, which Penn State will join this year, is a global network of educational institutions, individuals and organizations that support an approach to education based on openness, including collaboration, innovation, and collective development and use of open educational materials.

Daonian Liu, director of the Center for Teaching and Learning (CLT) at the Berks campus, said that all open education activities are part of a strategic initiative to reduce the cost of earning a degree at Penn State."
