The PDXOpen OER Grant Initiative continues to make an impact across campus. Over the summer, three Portland State University (PSU) faculty made the switch to open educational resources and will save 1,020 PSU students $155,650 this academic year. Donors provide funding for the PDXOpen OER Grant Initiative.
