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.

Kate Mulry designed a zero-cost history course for undergraduate and graduate students at CSUB. She created a reader by selecting articles, chapters, and podcasts relevant to the course. The main motivation to move away from assigning research monographs in the class was to save students money. Most students access the materials in our class Canvas page.
