Implementation of OER in College Algebra

If you are having trouble viewing this PDF, please download the poster.

The Department of Mathematics at WVU Institute of Technology recently decided to transition all introductory math courses to OER. In this presentation I discuss my work in bringing OER to MATH 126 College Algebra. I describe how I created a library of homework exercises for the MyOpenMath platform that was used in all sections of MATH 126 in the fall 2020 semester, and the tenets that guided how this library was developed. I also provide some results of our recent transition.
