"Creative Commons defines OER [Open Educational Resources] as teaching, learning, and research materials that are either (a) in the public domain or (b) licensed in a manner that provides everyone with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities– retaining, remixing, revising, reusing and redistributing the resources."(William and Flora Hewlett Foundation)

OERs offer students a no-cost textbook option for taking classes.  FSCJ currently has several courses developed with an OER; which means the professor will not require a paid textbook for students. Contact your advisor for more information about these courses.
