The document discusses the high cost of textbooks and how open educational resources (OER) can help make textbooks more affordable. It summarizes research showing textbook prices have increased four times the rate of inflation. The Student PIRGs organization has campaigned for over a decade to expose the problem and promote alternatives like OER, which are educational materials that can be freely used, adapted, and distributed. Studies show the use of open textbooks can save students an average of 80% of new textbook costs. The presentation outlines various sustainable models for funding the creation and distribution of open textbooks.
