Material Detail

The California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials. This Faculty Showcase represent Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.  

These open course materials are being utilized in an undergraduate Sociology course by Amara Miller at Cal State East Bay. These resources provide students with multiple ways to engage with free materials that are available through the use of instructor generated content, external websites and our library . The main motivation to adopt free resources is to increase student success while lessening the financial burden to students . All student access the open these materials through our learning management system, Blackboard.
