Abstract: Open educational resources (OERs) are teaching and learning materials that are free of cost and access barriers, and which also carry legal permission for open use.[1] OER enables faculty to replace costly textbooks and supplemental materials, if they so choose, which saves students significant costs of attending higher education while still providing a quality educational experience. In this paper, the authors chronicle how they navigate the complex information environment of business education with a focus on open and affordable course materials. Business programs often have the largest enrollments on campuses, and so OER efforts in business can potentially have the biggest impact on campus OER goals.
