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 Chicano and Latin American Studies course for undergraduate or graduate students by Dr. Vivi Marquez at California State University, Fresno. The open textbook provides students with the tools necessary to meet the course objectives. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to create a more equitable learning environment for students by giving students access to free course materials. Most students access the open textbook in CANVAS via links provided and/or downloads of free .pdf files.
