MATERIALS FOR 50 LOWER DIVISION COURSES
CaOERC developed criteria for selecting 50 highly-enrolled courses common across the three segments and compiled a list of these 50 courses in spring of 2014.
From spring 2014 into fall 2014, Ca OERC identified more than 150 appropriate, open educational resources textbooks (OER) for these 50 courses.
19
REVIEW & APPROVE OER MATERIAL
In spring of 2014, Ca OERC created a standardized peer review and approval process for OER textbooks attached to the 50 highly- enrolled courses. Ca OERC began soliciting faculty reviewers from among the three segments. To date, 519 faculty have signed up to review OER textbooks and materials.
To date, the review and approval process has been completed for 10 courses. For these 10 courses 22 faculty reviewed approximately 34 OER
textbooks. At least three OER textbooks have been approved for each of these 10 courses.
As of spring 2015, Ca OERC continues to recruit faculty reviewers. The review process is currently being coordinated for an additional 40 courses
and 120 additional reviews.
20
PUBLICIZE & PROMOTE OERSince spring 2014, CA OERC has worked with http://www.COOL4ED.edu to make all peer- reviewed OER textbook reviews available to students, faculty, and libraries.
The COOL4ED website currently features reviewed materials for 10 of the 50 selected courses. Links to the original materials are on the COOL4ED website.
