Description
High textbook costs can limit or prevent student access to needed instructional materials, complicating student learning and potentially leading to lower student success. Rich repositories of open educational resources (OER) play a crucial role in broadening student access to high-quality learning materials. Ancillary materials are particularly important among these resources as they supplement and enrich student learning experiences. However, compared to OER textbooks, ancillary materials are less readily available. With the content generation capabilities offered by Generative AI, what new opportunities exist for creating OER materials, especially ancillaries, and which areas require special consideration?
