Zero Textbook Costs. Infinite Possibilities.
Replace expensive textbooks with high-quality, peer-reviewed Open Educational Resources (OER). Import content directly from LibreTexts, OpenStax, and more.
Zero Student Cost
The average student spends over $1,200 annually on learning materials. By adopting OER, you eliminate a major financial barrier to access and improve day-one readiness.
Global Open Standards
We use the IMS Common Cartridge standard to ensure compatibility with repositories worldwide. If a resource complies with open standards, it works in Schologic.
Remix & Adapt
Don't like Chapter 4? Remove it. Need to merge two different textbooks? Do it. OER gives you full editorial control over your curriculum's structure.
A Universe of Peer-Reviewed Content
Moving to "Zero Textbook Cost" (ZTC) does not mean satisfying for lower quality. Platforms like LibreTexts and OpenStax host tens of thousands of peer-reviewed, faculty-authored textbooks.
These resources cover almost every discipline, from advanced STEM topics to Humanities. Because they are digital-first, they are updated frequently to correct errors and reflect new discoveries, unlike static print editions.
Supported Global Repositories
LibreTexts
The world's most popular OER platform with over 100,000 pages of content.

From Repository to Classroom in 3 Steps
We've optimized the workflow to make importing a 500-page textbook as easy as uploading a syllabus.
Browse & Download
Visit LibreTexts or any OER repository. Locate your desired textbook and download the Common Cartridge (IMSCC) file.
Import to Library
In your Instructor Dashboard, upload the file to your Library. Schologic parses the hierarchy, organizing it into chapters and pages automatically.
Add to Class
Go to Class Manager, open the Resources tab, and select content. It instantly appears in the Student Dashboard.
Preview in ReaderLicensing Made Simple
One challenge of OER is managing attribution. Schologic handles this automatically. When you import a Creative Commons (CC-BY) resource, the platform:
- Automatically displays the correct license and author credits in the footer of every page.
- Tracks the source URL so students can always verify specific information.
- Ensures your course materials remain copyright compliant without manual effort.
Technical Compliance Details
Metadata Retention
Unlike simple PDF uploads, imported IMSCC cartridges retain the full Dublin Core metadata from the source repository. This means the original author, publication date, and version history are embedded in every page view, ensuring that students always see the correct attribution without instructor intervention.
One-Click Citations
Because the system understands the source material's structure, standard citation formats (APA, MLA, Chicago) can be generated dynamically. Students can copy the correct citation for any chapter directly from the reader interface, encouraging academic integrity.
