This website provides links to open education resources (OER) for introductory economics courses:*
Introduction to Economics, Intro Macroeconomics, and Intro Microeconomics.
The purpose of the site is to help faculty design courses with OER and zero-textbook-cost (ZTC) material.
The OER ECON Depositories provide lists of links that can be copied for an instructor's use in a Syllabus, Course Guide, or course webpage. These repositories are organized by course topic and are continuously being updated. The links can copied and/or inserted in other documents for easy access for students. The links are organized by topics frequently covered in the three courses.
Here is a list of ZTC Economics textbooks, most of which are licensed under CC. They were compiled December 2022. Many have not yet been included in the Depositories.
See the Other Resources page for some collections of Economics OER and random teaching-related material.

This site is very much a work-in-progress and is constantly being updated. (Last update: January 2022)
The courses listed are those offered at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) of the City University of New York (CUNY) in New York City, USA, the college for which the site was originally created.
Examples of how an online course can be created with OER-ZTC material is provided by way of "Course Guides." (Course Guides have been recommended for online courses at BMCC-CUNY.) These examples are provided as Google Sheets that can be downloaded and edited by faculty. They can be tailored by faculty in spreadsheet software, deployed in a variety of ways and in different formats for individual course sections.
