OER ZTC Committee

Open Education Resources / Zero Textbook Committee

 

The Open Education Resources and Zero Textbook Cost Committee (OERZTCC) reports to 
the Academic Senate. The OERZTCC provides a forum for OER and ZTC awareness, 
adoption, and support for faculty and students. The committee provides 
recommendations, guidelines, and standards (including accessibility) for the integration 
and sustainability of OER, ZTC, and low textbook cost (LTC) materials. The committee 
ensures that ZTC/LTC is clearly indicated in the class schedule for students. Ultimately, the 
OERZTCC works to eliminate barriers to education, increase equity, and improve student 
outcomes.
