Material Detail

 This open-source textbook is being utilized in a physics course for undergraduate students by Cynthia Trevisan at California State University Maritime Academy. The open textbook provides students with a progression of topics that are covered by most two- or three semester calculus-based physics courses by introducing concepts, as well as by providing examples and application problems. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to provide students with a no-cost textbook for the course. Most students access the open textbook in its online format.

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 represents Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
