DESCRIPTION
Discover Free and Open Textbooks with the California Open Online Library for Education (COOLforEd) COOLforEd (http://coolfored.org) was established through California state legislation to make higher education more affordable by providing faculty and students with access to open and low-cost instructional materials. Working with the California Open Educational Resources Council (COERC), COOLforEd features peer-reviewed open textbooks for the 50 highest impact college courses. In addition, the best practices of instructors and their students who have successfully adopted open textbooks in these courses are captured in multi-media faculty showcases. Participants in this webinar will get an overview of the statewide effort to curate and promote open educational resources (OER) for the highest enrolled college courses and learn how to get involved in this project. Discover peer-reviewed open textbooks that you can adopt to ensure that all of your students have access to instructional materials on the first day of class. Una Daly, OER Library Services Manager, California State University Chancellor’s Office; Community College Director, Open Education Consortium COOLforEd is a service of the California State University-MERLOT program. Partial funding provided by the State of California, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
