The University of Delaware OER publishing program launched in 2024 and is dedicated to promoting and publishing open educational resources. OERs decrease financial barriers by offering free alternatives to costly traditional resources and empowering faculty to creatively expand their pedagogy. The publishing program uses Pressbooks, an open-source content management system that can be used to produce books and is compatible with Canvas.
