Support for This OER

The creation of this Open Educational Resource (OER) was supported by a VIVA Open Grant. The Virginia General Assembly has provided funds to support the VIVA Open Grant Program through VIVA, Virginia’s Academic Library Consortium, a program of the State Council of Higher Education. The VIVA Open Grant Program aims to improve academic success for Virginia students by eliminating the costs of textbooks and other course materials and providing day one access to materials while also empowering faculty to create resources tailored to individual course needs and pedagogical goals. The program provides financial and publishing support services (e.g., graphic design) without content oversight.
