OER Heroes.

During the fall and spring term each partner institution nominates one faculty member who has gone above and beyond to build and share high quality and accessible OER course materials. Through their efforts, students are saving money and other faculty can adopt/adapt their material; positivity impacting the greater Arizona community.
