The increasing cost of textbooks has created a demand for no cost/low cost learning resources for students. The University System of Georgia, through their Affordable Learning Grants has supported the development of no cost/low cost course transformation activities. Faculty at Clayton State University (CSU) have been engaged in the development of a number of Open Education Resources (OER) courses. This past year, an Open Source Online Based teaching template has been developed for the Introduction to Sociology (SOCI 1101) course. This teaching template provides a model for the development of an economical online learning experience that can serve as a model for similar courses at CSU and other institutions.
