OER/ZTC statement
This course hub website contains OER/ZTC (Open Educational Resources/Zero Textbook Cost) resources for faculty teaching Introduction to Macroeconomics (ECO 201) at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). These resources are freely available for use by BMCC faculty and beyond.

Course Materials
This category is a collection of materials that you might choose to incorporate into your class. All materials have their own “post.” This enables you to “reply” in order to review, provide suggestions, or ask questions about any particular resource.
If you hover over this tab, you will see several categories indicating the type of material (textbook or supplemental). If you click on the category “Course Materials” you will see all the materials regardless of type or subject matter.
Browsing by Topic
To only look at materials on a particular subject, you can use the search widget on the right hand margin (if on a phone, widgets appear at the bottom of a page). You can also browse the “tag word cloud” widget. Click on the subject matter you are looking for to see all materials that have been posted with that tag.
Assignments
This category is a collection of pre-written in class and homework assignments. Just like Course Materials, these are offered as “posts” and categorized by tags.
