Abstract
Open Educational Resources (OER) do not only bene t instructors and students. Campus organizations that provide peer-led academic support, such as tutoring or Supplemental Instruction, to students can also take advantage of them. Dedicated to supporting student learning and academic success in foundational college courses, these services are an additional layer of instruction that faculty and teaching assistants often do not have time to offer. These support programs provide assistance to individual students or organize cooperative learning activities by having students work together in small groups under the guidance of a peer leader or tutor to review essential course content. The sessions employ strategies based on Universal Design for Learning, constructivism, peer cooperative learning and other educational theories.
