Open Education : University Libraries : Texas State University

Open Education is an aspect of Open Scholarship that supports student-centered instruction - utilizing tools, resources, and practices that are open (free from monetary, legal, and other limitations) to bridge the gaps of access, equity, and representation. This is done through the use of Open Educational Resources and the practice of Open pedagogy.

Customize your resources and reduce barriers for students by creating, adapting, or adopting Open Educational Resources (OER).
