Material Detail

This open textbook is being utilized in a political science course for undergraduate political science and public administration majors by Christina G. Villegas at California State University, San Bernardino. The open textbook provides organizational and procedural aspects of Congress and the legislative process. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to save students money and to familiarize students with a valuable resource that they can continue to use throughout their education and career. Most students access the open textbook in on the LMS, 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.
