A volunteer with OpenIntro.org suggested we add it to the list of OER:
"The mission of OpenIntro is to make educational products that are free, transparent, and lower barriers to education. Right now we have three open-source textbooks for statistics that have been adopted by numerous universities across the country and was recently used as the main textbook in a Coursera class on statistics & data analysis. Our books have saved students about $1million. For more info: www.openintro.org"
