Summary:
"Beginning this fall, students who take the MATH 021 Introductory Algebra course at Brookdale Community College in New Jersey will no longer have to buy a traditional textbook.
Instead, thanks to a new college-wide Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative, students will be able to download and print a free copy of the college’s new MATH 021 coursebook, or buy a bound copy at the college bookstore for $11.
With a potential savings of at least $59 per student, the OER program could save Brookdale students more than $100,000 in textbook costs during the 2017-18 school year."
