Abstract
Open Educational Resources (OER) are often pitched as affordable alternatives to pricey textbooks. Fully-edged open textbooks, such as those found in OpenStax, are touted as high quality OER texts that can be wholesale substituted for existing commercial textbooks. As an OER graduate assistant on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, this vision was enticing and exciting. This like-for-like swap seemed so simple and effective, an elegant way to make a positive impact on the students on our campus.
