• open and OER – what it is and what it isn’t;
• how issues of affordability can impact student academic success;
• open textbooks as a solution to affordability issues;
• identifying barriers to adoption of open textbooks and how to help overcome those barriers; and
• supporting faculty adoptions of open textbooks.
