  • Open Textbooks Statement
    As faculty members, we affirm that it is our prerogative and responsibility to select course materials that are pedagogically most appropriate for our classes. We also affirm that it is consistent with this principle to seek affordable course materials for our classes whenever possible. This includes open textbooks, which are textbooks offered online to students at no cost.
    Open textbooks and other open educational resources present an affordable, comparable and flexible alternative to commercial course materials. Therefore, we the undersigned declare our intent to:
    • Seek and consider open textbooks and other open educational resources when choosing course materials.
    • Give preference to a low or no cost educational resource such as an open textbook over an expensive textbook if it best fits the needs of a class.
    • Encourage institutions to develop support for the use of open textbooks and other open educational resources.
  • 2,500+
    Instructors & Professors
    www.maketextbooksaffordable.org/statement
  • Why would anyone provide free content?
    Knowledge should be free
    Education is a basic human right
    Education should have barriers removed
    Education should be customized & localized
  • Maybe You are…
    INSPIRED:
    Interested in using Open Educational Resources in your classes?
    Already using or developing OER?
    SKEPTICAL:
    Concerned about the quality of existing resources, or applicability to your classroom?
    Doubtful that you now have the time and skills needed to develop or adapt open content materials?
    Concerned about giving away intellectual property?
    Doubtful about an efficient transition to OER?
  • Sustainable Model
    Revenue streams must extend beyond start-up
    Infrastructure must have continual upgrade
    Content must have continual upgrade
    Plan for Staff development
    Measurable & proven effectiveness
    Market and measure the benefits to students
    Market and measure the benefits to developers and authors
    Evaluation must be built-in
  • Seven Myths aboutOpen Textbooks
    Open Textbooks and eBooks are the same.
    Creators never receive monetary compensation for open textbooks.
    All open textbooks are crowd-sourced, i.e., created by anonymous amateurs.
    Campus bookstores suffer from the use of open textbooks.
    (A fact; not a myth but we are working to change this.)
    Derivatives damage the author’s reputation.
    Open textbooks are low quality or out-of-date with expired copyrights.
    Publishers are enemies of open textbooks.

  • Goals of CCCOER
    The primary goal of the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources is to identify, create and/or repurpose existing OER as Open Textbooks and make them available for use by community college students and faculty.  We seek the support of faculty to identify, review, evaluate, and make available high quality, accessible and culturally relevant model Open Textbooks.
    The Open Educational Resources (OER) movement encourages the creation of free, high-quality content for community college courses to replace commonly used textbooks.  By promoting OER, community colleges can create sustainable academic resources for students and provide professional development opportunities for faculty.  A wealth of public domain and fair use learning materials are currently available via the internet that faculty can repurpose for use in their classes to replace some of the books required for purchase by students.
