OER / ZTC / LTC

太阳城娱乐教育资源

• Open Educational 资源 (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are either (a) in the public domain or (b) licensed in a manner that provides everyone with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities: Retain, Revise, Remix, Reuse, Redistribute.
• OER are often released under intellectual property licenses (such as, Creative Commons). Some of these licenses allow faculty to freely reuse, remix, revise, and/or redistribute educational materials.

零教科书成本

• 零教科书成本 (ZTC) is a label applied to courses in which faculty either use OER, or other freely available resources in place of traditional textbooks or other expensive learning materials. 加州SB 1359 为ZTC课程设置了以下参数：
  • 所有指定的教科书都是本课程的可选教材
  • 所有指定的教科书都被认定为太阳城娱乐教育资源（OER）教科书。
  • Assigned textbooks (including course readers) are available online for free (i.e. through library databases), AND students are not required to buy a physical copy.
• ZTC课程的其他考虑因素包括：
  • Lab materials or required supplies are not considered a textbook cost. If a course section meets the parameters noted above, but requires a fee for materials then the section would still qualify as ZTC per State guidelines. (Note: a lab manual is considered a textbook and must be available to students at no cost to permit ZTC designation for the class).
  • If students need to pay fees to access a software platform to do coursework or homework, this counts as a cost, and the course section would not qualify as ZTC.

教材成本低

• Fall of 2021 the OER/ZTC work group began the process of defining the price point for what is considered "low" for the cost of a textbook. A survey to help establish this definitionwill be distributed to all faculty in mid to late fall.
• Like the ZTC label, the goal is to collaboratively identify and label classes that offer an affordable option to students.
• More information will be posted as development occurs. If you have any questions, please Zayden运动.
