Open Educational Resources (OERs)

Open Education North Carolina

Open Education North Carolina (OENC) is an initiative that aims to reduce the cose of higher education for North Carolina students by providing free, open textbooks for 30 of the most frequently-taught courses across North Carolina's 2- and 4-year colleges and universities.

NC LIVE, North Carolina's library cooperative, is partnering with the UNC System, NC Independent Colleges & Universities, and NC Communities Colleges to offer open textbook workshops to interested faculty across the state, as well as provide $1000 grants to faculty and instructors who choose to adopt or create open education resources.

Preview selected textbooks for courses, sign up for a workshop, and apply for a grant at nclive.org/oenc.
