Congratulations to Northern Essex Community College and your continued adoption of #OpenTextbooks and other free, openly-licensed educational resources in place of commercially published textbooks.

My best wishes moving forward and encourage to consider the adoption of #OpenSource Software (#OSS) to realize all the same benefits your #OER initiatives provide your students, faculty, campus and education.

Congrats Veronica Baker, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Montana State University, on her recent, "Excellence in Open Education Award" for maximizing the economic impact of, and reducing cost to students through #OER / #OpenTextbooks.
