Open Educational Resources: Affordable Learning Georgia and Other OER

What is Affordable Learning Georgia?

Affordable Learning Georgia is an OER initiative of the University System of Georgia. It provides grants to USG faculty to create and publish open materials for use by students in a wide variety of college-level courses.  You  can be sure all materials available through Affordable Learning Georgia are peer-reviewed and appropriate for college teaching. Affordable Learning Georgia also  aggregates OER materials from other sources. These sources will be explored in this guide.
