UMKC part of system-wide initiative to adopt affordable and open educational resources

"University of Missouri System President Mun Choi and Chancellor Leo E. Morton announced a plan that will save students significant amounts of money on textbooks and other course materials. This initiative at all four UM System campuses is designed to reduce the cost of attendance and enhance learning for students. The plan takes advantage of Open Educational Resources (OER), or class materials that are free for students, and AutoAccess, which is a program that makes textbooks and class materials available online at a lower cost than traditional learning resources."
