An OER/LCCM course is one where the majority of course materials (at least 51%) is OER and the total course materials cost is less than $50. If a course uses at least 51% openly licensed course materials and the total course materials cost is less than $50 it should be so designated for the purpose of scheduling so that students are aware of the lower cost, openly licensed options.
