More from Dr. Matta:

“When I started teaching this course in Fall 2021, I taught the laboratory component with

a $100 print textbook. In Spring 2022, the textbook became available as a $70 e-book, which was just a scanned version of the original textbook that was available to buy and read online. However, the e-book was still expensive for some students, and there were other challenges including printing experiment pages and more. Currently, both the print and e-book of this text are available at the UTSA Bookstore for $100 and $ 70, respectively. With the OER Design grant, the material will be freely available to all students, and they can use their laptops, tablets, or smartphones to update their LabArchives notebook during and outside of class.”
