Material Detail

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.    

This open textbook is being utilized in a psychology course for graduate students by Stacy Forcino at California State University, San Bernardino. The open textbook provides an introduction to child assessment and therapy techniques for M.S. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology students. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to reduce the financial burden on our graduate students. Most student access the open textbook by reading it online, through the Pfau Library website.
