[Openkpu] KPU's ZTC initiative hits new milestones

Good afternoon everyone, I am delighted to share some updated statistics with you from our Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) initiative: * We have now crossed $3.1 million in student savings. In the first year of the program (2018) we exceeded $1 million in savings whereas this year we have exceeded $2 million. * The ZTC initiative now includes six credentials based on more than 700 unique courses that are taught by more than 300 instructors. To view the data dashboard and learn more about our six ZTC programs, visit https://www.kpu.ca/open/ztc Many thanks to Andrea Mah and Jasmine Marahar, student assistants who have been working on collecting and verifying these data.
