Welcome to the OER and Open Access Basics page for Winter Park Campus faculty and students.
Winter Park Campus is already utilizing OER materials. Professor Prusick uses "Biology 2e" as the main textbook for Biology (BSC 1101). This text book can be printed, downloaded, and accessed online free of charge - you can even order a physical copy for a much lower price than a traditional textbook.
OpenStax is one of the many organizations that give students and instructors access to dozens of subjects, removing the financial barrier of traditional textbook costs.
