"Funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, College Open Textbooks is a collection of colleges, governmental agencies, education non-profits, and other education-related organizations that are focused on the mission of driving the awareness and advocacy for open textbooks. This includes providing training for instructors adopting open resources, peer reviews of open textbooks, and mentoring online professional networks that provide support to authors who open their resources. Through our community outreach, we have found that open textbooks should be:
* easy to use, get and pass around,
* editable so instructors can customize content,
* cross-platform compatible,
* printable,
* and accessible so they work with adaptive technology. " -

"The CSU’s Affordable Learning Solutions Campaign is designed to enable faculty to choose and provide quality educational content that is more affordable for their students. CSU students typically pay over $800 per year for their books. By reducing their expenses, we believe we can provide better access to a quality CSU learning experience. We are launching this campaign in 2010 and will be continuously improving the services to CSU faculty and students each semester.
The Affordable Learning Solutions website is designed to:
* Make it easy for faculty, staff, and students to find no/low cost course content that can substitute for more costly textbooks
* Enable faculty to be recognized for their efforts in reducing costs for students
* Share practices for using no/low cost digital content in CSU courses
* Support campuses in customizing their strategies to enable affordable learning solutions" -

"OERs and Their Benefits
According to Rawson and Thomes (2008), "OERs are any type of educational material that are freely available for teachers and students to use, adapt, share, and reuse. OERs include learning content such as videos, audio clips, images, lecture notes, reading lists, course assignments, syllabi and lesson plans, textbooks, data, instructional games, tests and quizzes, etc." Because OERs have already been developed by other people and organizations, faculty can easily incorporate them as supplements to their existing course materials and not have to bear the burden of creating the resource themselves.
