Improving College Affordability and Student Success

SUNY has partnered with Lumen Learning since 2012 to improve college affordability and student success throughout the SUNY system by promoting the widespread use of open educational resources (OER) and evidence-based courseware. The partnership provides access to courseware, a Ready-to-Adopt OER catalog, efficacy research, and a variety of support services aimed at improving success for faculty and students.
