Overview
This Institution seeks to engage faculty in the redesign of courses through the replacement of proprietary textbooks with open educational resources. The short-term goal is to reduce costs for students and accelerate their progress through college, but an important secondary impact is to change the culture to create systems and structures that better connects curriculum and pedagogy to updated student learning outcomes.
