Material Detail

These freely available Google Docs are being utilized in a philosophy course for undergraduate students by Joseph Suk-Hwan Dowd at CSU San Bernardino. The Google Docs contain loose translations, or interpretations, of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, Books I and II; Immanuel Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals; and selections from Epictetus’s Enchiridion. The main motivation to create these freely available Google Docs was to make reading material free without subjecting students to hard-to-read copyright-expired translations. Most student access the Google Docs through links provided in the course syllabus and on the online classroom platform Blackboard.

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.
