Session Abstract
Since the pandemic, I have been using a combination of OER and LTC resources in my asynchronous online mathematics courses: (1) OpenStax, a library peer-reviewed, openly-licensed textbooks, which are available in free digital formats and for a low cost in print; (2) Desmos, an advanced graphing calculator implemented as a web application and a mobile application; (3) Derivita, a solution-oriented online homework program with simple and powerful capabilities. Since OpenStax and Desmos are free and the cost of Derivita is only $30 plus tax for students, my courses are flagged as LTC for being "low textbook cost." In this session, I show how I use these three resources to support student success from MAT114 (College Algebra Prep) to MAT230 (Calculus and Analytical Geometry II) as well as opportunities for improvement.
