Material Detail

This collection of open resources and zero-cost course materials are being utilized in a Communication Sciences and Disorders course for undergraduate students by Ying-Chiao Tsao at California State University, Fullerton. These materials provide the breadth of course materials for the various topics covered and some supplemental materials to support student writing/research. The main motivation to adopt open and zero-cost resources was to reduce costs and provide materials that were better organized and easier to access for students. Most student access the materials through Canvas. 

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.
