Penn State Berks adopts free online textbook for effective speech course

by Penn State University

The Penn State Berks communication arts and sciences (CAS) program is blazing a trail toward an initiative in higher education by adopting a free online textbook, which can also be downloaded and printed, for all sections of the course Effective Speech (CAS100A). This online textbook, “The Public Speaking Project,” will be used in the University Open Educational Resources (OER) textbook pilot initiative. The adoption of this free text has a positive impact on every academic program at Penn State Berks, as all students are required to take Effective Speech. Many universities and colleges have been working to reduce textbook costs for students, while state legislatures are encouraging colleges and universities to find ways to limit costs for students.
