The Textbook Affordability Project is a partnership between the University Library and Academic Affairs that supports the advocacy and implementation of open educational practices at UTRGV. Open Educational Practice, which includes Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Pedagogy, provide faculty the ability to exercise their academic freedom while simultaneously providing students with immediate access to no-cot or low-cost course materials. This project's goal is to recognize those who have dedicated their time and effort to ensure students at UTRGV have equitable access to high-quality course materials at a minimal cost to students.
