Experience Textbook-Free Online Education

Most instructors in this program use open educational resources (OER) in place of traditional textbooks. This means digital, openly licensed content is available free of charge to students. The University of West Alabama’s use of OER gives students the opportunity to experience a unique learning environment.

Your Education Is More Affordable Than Ever

When we use OER for this program, you will see a significant savings on textbook costs. The OER library and network allow you to access learning materials free of charge without the high price of traditional textbooks. By going textbook-free, your education is both accessible and affordable.

Unlimited Access to Learning Resources

With OER available through UWA’s online integrated marketing communications programs, you’ll have access to the course materials you need anytime, anywhere. Through multiple formats, interactive content and a variety of resources at your fingertips, you’ll have study tools whenever you need them
