Material Detail

These no-cost instructional materials are being utilized in a discipline course for undergraduate and graduate students by Paule Pobloske at California State University, Chico. The materials include instructor-developed written lectures, PowerPoint presentations, curated video resources, and hands-on analytics labs that guide students through data governance, Confidentiality–Integrity–Availability principles, performance analytics, audit analytics, predictive modeling, and AI governance. The main motivation to adopt no-cost course materials was to remove financial barriers for students and ensure the content reflects current industry technology and practices. Most students access these materials directly in Canvas, where lectures, videos, datasets, and tool demonstrations are organized into clear weekly modules.

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.
