Hi everyone Thompson Rivers University (TRU) student, Michelle Aragon had a study abroad experience without ever leaving home— and made history to boot, becoming the first student to receive academic credit for completing a course through the OERu.
*"It was also quite freeing not to be tied to a textbook and able to follow what I wanted to learn about and what I wanted to write about." *Michelle Aragon (Read more <http://oeru.org/news/meet-michelle-aragon-oerus-first-graduate/> ...) This proves that OER can provide more affordable access to formal academic credit.
