Open SUNY Affordable Learning Solutions (ALS) is a service to assist SUNY faculty, librarians, instructional designers, and other staff members who are interested in learning about, locating, evaluating, and using open educational resources. See a showcase of faculty who are using or creating OERs, learn about IIT grant funding for OER projects, access Open SUNY MOOCs, check in on Open SUNY Textbooks, and learn how to launch an affordable learning solutions initiative on your own campus.
Learn about OERs through the self-paced tutorial Introduction to OERs. Instructions for locating open textbooks and evaluating OERs are available for use and re-use. The quest for OERs can begin with Open SUNY ALS using a variety of search forms, including MERLOT’s federated search that searches multiple repositories simultaneously.
