Open Educational Resources at SIUE
SIUE participated in the 2021-2022 AAC&U’s Institute on Open Educational Resources. A team engaged with other colleges and faculty mentors in developing out plans to successfully implement OER at their institutions.
The SIUE OER support team is continually working to encourage and support the adoption and adaption of course materials to OER.

From our SIUE students
I felt it was important to tell you how much I love the textbook you assigned for this class. This is the first textbook that I’ve ever read, where I felt the book was written for me. The way the author wrote the book and how it presents the information is perfect, including the vernacular and sentence structure. Too many textbooks don’t feel engaging, or don’t present the information in a way that keeps me engaged. I don’t know if people often give feedback for a book, so I thought I would at least tell you I’m enjoying it and it was a great pick

I think the feature that helped me the most in the ACS-103 textbook was the formatting of the titles and subtitles. I thought it was efficient to be able to select a title in the Table of Contents, and the textbook direct me straight to that section; moreover, it minimized the time spent actually looking for the section and allowed me more time to actually read. The organization of the chapters was also helpful with each title being bolded and telling exactly what section I was reading.
