East Tennessee State University’s Open and Affordable Course Materials Initiatives provides training and financial incentives for instructors to reduce student textbook costs. Our initiative supports both the use of Open Educational Resources and Affordable course materials. Initiatives are co-funded by the Student Library Fee decided by Charles C. Sherrod Library' Student Advisory Council, the Center for Teaching Excellence, the ETSU Instructional Design Grant, and the TBR Open Educational Resources Grant.
