Material Detail

These open resources are being utilized in a History course for undergraduate or graduate students by Miriam Riggs at California State University, San Marcos. The open resources provide primary and scholarly sources related to major historical cultural trends in Latin American from the precolonial period through the relative present. The main motivation to adopt open resources was to save students money and to focus more specifically on cultural expressions in their historical contexts, as required by the course description. Most student access the materials through the CSUSM Kellogg Library website and supplemental materials through Canvas learning management system.

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 represents Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
