Open educational resources suggestions
by Bradley Scott 09 May '19

09 May '19

A professor has inquired about free or very-low-cost textbooks for an introductory computer science class. I'd like to suggest to her some good sources for open educational resources she could browse and evaluate. What sources does the hive mind of MichLib-L suggest? Thanks in advance for any information. I am interested in any good sources of OER, not just computer science, although the latter is the subject of the immediate inquiry. Bradley A. Scott, MLS Electronic Resources Librarian Mott Community College 1401 East Court Street Flint, Michigan 48503 810-762-0405
