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.  This open textbook is being utilized in an anthropology course for undergraduate or graduate students by Arianna Huhn at CSU San Bernardino. The open textbook provides a thorough introduction to the history of the discipline, up through the present, written in accessible language. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was the financial savings for students, but also finding ways to keep course content current (readers are typically a decade or so behind anthropological theory), and include more BIPOC authors. Most student access the open textbook electronically, via Pfau Library, Taylor & Francis e-books.
