Entrepreneurship

Briefly described, OERs are free, electronic, publicly accessible materials that offer equivalent content to a traditional textbook. In addition to having no cost, these materials can be updated at any time due to their electronic format. Regarding the cost (or lack thereof), publishers of OERs rely on generous support from donors like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to compensate content creators. To ensure academic rigor, OERs are peer-reviewed, just like traditional textbooks.
