Their Textbook, Your Choice. | ACADEME BLOG

"Today’s major trend in saving money on textbooks is, of corse, Open Educational Resources (or OER). I think OER is terrific. I personally believe that any textbook that retails for more than $100 is an abomination, and some of the cheaper ones aren’t much better. If there’s an open source version of any textbook that you use which happens to meet your needs, then you should definitely assign it. If there isn’t, then you should consider writing one yourself."
