By closing the textbook and using OER, Tompkins Cortland Community College students saved $69,800 in textbook costs (2011-13). Moreover, there was a 26.7% increase in passing grades and a 15% decrease in withdrawal rates. During this presentation, TC3 faculty will share how they have transformed their classes and improved student success with OER.

12-1pm: OER Best Practices Panel & Lunch
MCC faculty members from a range of disciplines will discuss how they have integrated free online educational resources in their face-to-face and online classrooms. They will discuss best practices, successes they've witnessed, and troubleshooting tips. A Q&A period will follow.
1-3 pm: OER Workshop
This hands-on workshop is designed to connect colleagues who teach similar skills or content. This session will enable you to hear from TC3 and MCC faculty about their use of OER and then begin the search for resources for your own classes.
