When I was asked if I was interested in joining a team to complete the project of creating an Online Educational Resource (OER) for a Real Estate careers textbook I was unsure how I would be able to contribute since I have little experience in writing. Now the textbook is finished, I realize our team of writers all have experiences and perspectives that were important in creating a textbook and will resonate with any student interested in a career in Real Estate.
Students: the information in this online resource is a valuable guide that can be used to discover opportunities in the industry. Please take the time to not only review the information in the book, but also the references and links for further study. The work you must complete to pass this class can help you find a career, but the time you spend researching further information on your own can set you apart from competitors in discovering further opportunities available to you.
Instructors: this online resource was designed with you in mind. We hope the topics in this course are interesting and informative. We worked hard to provide you with a resource that would be easy to use with an abundance of information readily available to make teaching this course as rewarding as possible.
I can say now that we’ve completed this resource, I’m very pleased with the result and I have no doubt many students will make good use of this resource at no cost to them. That was the goal from the beginning; and we achieved that goal.
