Name: Kelly Wenzel What are some of the classes you teach? Nursing Pharmacology & Nursing Advanced Skills How long have you been with CVTC? Since 2015 How long have you been using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? 2+ years What is your favorite part of using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? The accessibility it offers to all students in their course(s) is unparalleled. It is a current resource that allows effortless accessibility in and outside the classroom for both the instructor and students with the ease of a digital device. I also find that the OER includes opportunities for interactive learning, such as the use of videos, case studies, knowledge checks, etc., which can be great tools to promote confidence and understanding. Any estimated student cost savings from using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? $125+ per student If you've created a textbook, manuscript, etc., would you mind sharing a link to the text? I was a peer reviewer for the Nursing Pharmacology textbook...
