Open Textbooks for Rural Arizona
The Open Textbooks for Rural Arizona initiative is a grant project funded by the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) through the U.S. Department of Education. Led by Yavapai College, a consortium of eight Arizona rural community colleges, was formed to increase student cost savings through access to Open Educational Resources (OER). The consortium serves 44,659 students in 12 Arizona counties (83% of Arizona geographically).
