U Georgia Nears $2 million Mark in OER Savings - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

The University of Georgia estimated that it has saved students $2 million through the adoption of open educational resources (OER) since 2013. According to Edward Watson, director of the university's Center for Teaching and Learning, "Our approach has been to pursue large enrollment courses using expensive textbooks. This has enabled us to maximize savings for students." The institution has worked with Affordable Learning Georgia, a partnership the University System of Georgia has with California State University, which manages MERLOT, a venerable OER library of resources. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2015/11/20/u-georgia-nears-2-million-mark-in-oer-savings.aspx
