The Michael Schwartz Library, together with our CSU faculty and many other campus stakeholders, including the Center for Faculty Excellence and the Center for eLearning, have worked hard to make learning more affordable for students, and our efforts have paid off - literally!
We have been offering Textbook Affordability Grants for faculty each semester since 2016. The goal of the grant program is to support adoption of openly-licensed course materials in order to save students money and encourage student-centered pedagogy. These grants have saved CSU students at least $1 million in course material costs.
Faculty: Are you using Open Educational Resources or other free or library-licensed content in your class?
Have you taken other steps to reduce costs for students? We want to know about it! Let us know by filling out this quick form.
More information on the Affordable Learning @ CSU initiative can be found at https://library.csuohio.edu/affordable-learning/. Thanks to all of our affordability advocates across campus, and happy Open Education Week!

The workshop runs from April 10th - May 5th. Submit your proposal by March 13th.
