- Open Education North Carolina
Open Education North Carolina is an initiative that aims to reduce the cost of higher education for North Carolina students by providing free, open e-textbooks for 30 of the most frequently-taught courses across North Carolina’s 2 and 4-year colleges and universities. The initiative is coordinated by an OER Program Librarian employed by NC LIVE and is overseen by an OER Advisory Committee of faculty, administrators and librarians from around the state.
In the first two years of the Open Education North Carolina initiative, NC LIVE and its partners will assess and select open textbooks for 30 courses. Of the first 22 courses that will be curated, Carteret Community College teaches 19 (see table below). To browse the textbooks, use this link: https://www.oercommons.org/hubs/oenc
