As the cost of higher education continues to skyrocket, it’s becoming more and more important for institutions to find ways of making college more affordable for students.

With increasing budget restraints, this is often easier said than done. But, by institutionalizing the use of open educational resources (OER), your institution can reduce the overall cost of higher education by up to 30 percent!

Are you ready to institutionalize OER on your campus?

Register today for the Magna Online Seminar, Strategies and Tactics for Institutionalizing Open Educational Resources, presented by Erik Christensen, PhD, who, over the span of two years, helped lead a team that championed the institutionalization of OER across his campus, resulting in saving students $425,000 in a year.

In this seminar, you’ll learn how OER can expand student access to higher education, provide significant cost savings to students, and help increase enrollment and retention. You’ll gain compelling evidence and strategies and tactics for developing a strategic initiative that embraces and encourages the adoption of OER institution-wide.
