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 general chemistry laboratory course for undergraduate students by Steven Runyon at the California State University - Maritime Academy. The open laboratory manual provides access to high-quality learning materials, maintaining high standards of academic rigor at  no cost to students. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to provide a laboratory curriculum tailored to oceanography students at Cal Maritime, and to increase student access and decrease the cost of education. Most student access the open textbook in pdf format accessed via the Learning Management System.
