This workshop will guide educators through the process of building a Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) or Open Educational Resources (OER) course shell in Canvas. Viewers will learn how to structure their course using free, openly-licensed materials that eliminate textbook costs for students while maintaining academic rigor. By the end of this session, you will have practical strategies for locating, evaluating, and integrating OER content into your Canvas courses.
