The Open & Affordable Education Committee is a cross-campus committee involved in developing, promoting, and supporting the use of affordable course materials at Iowa State. We promote the use of free and low-cost instructional materials such as: open educational resources (OER), Immediate Access materials, library-licensed content, and other low-cost materials available for our students. While this website emphasizes our support for OER, there are a wide variety of programs available to support course material affordability which you can learn about here!
