Cal State, VitalSource team up to bridge gap between OER and traditional materials

"The California State University System and VitalSource Technologies announced a collaboration designed to increase the adoption and use of open educational resources. Open resources aim to provide students with affordable course materials that are easily customizable to meet the needs of individual instructors. However, the materials often lack reliable distribution, easy integration and detailed analytics that are common with established types of course materials. The VitalSource-Cal State arrangement will bridge the gap between OER and traditional learning materials, the partners said. 

Terms of the deal were not disclosed."
