Why go open?
18. 18
There is a direct relationship between
textbook costs and student success
60%+ do not purchase textbooks
at some point due to cost
35% take fewer courses due to
textbook cost
31% choose not to register for a
course due to textbook cost
23% regularly go without
textbooks due to cost
14% have dropped a course
due to textbook cost 2012 Florida Virtual Campus student survey

Z-Degree
A Z-Degree is a pathway to a
degree or credential that has zero
textbook costs by using course
materials made up of open
educational resources (OER).

Nationaal Coordinator Groningen:
“Deze OpenCourseWare biedt
waardevolle kennis over aardbevingen,
constructies en de wisselwerking
tussen die twee. Tal van betrokkenen
uit bijvoorbeeld de bouwsector en de
wetenschap kunnen hier hun voordeel
mee doen bij de grote opgave in het
aardbevingsgebied”
Sharing knowledge is free.

PhET provides fun, free, interactive, research-based science and mathematics simulations. We extensively test and evaluate each simulation to ensure educational effectiveness. These tests include student interviews and observation of simulation use in classrooms. The simulations are written in Java, Flash or HTML5, and can be run online or downloaded to your computer. All simulations are open source
