\u201cExpensive textbooks are a burden for students and a frustration for faculty who must ask students to purchase them,\u201d says Dr. Charles Cook, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. \u201cWith open resources, students have access to the materials from the first day of class. Faculty can rearrange, remix, reuse, revise, and redistribute content to suit their needs and their students\u2019 learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Portland, Ore-based Lumen<\/a> is helping ACC and its partner colleges develop courses for a general studies degree that can be completed using open resources.<\/a><\/p>\n
