Overview
Washington State’s Open Course Library is a large scale effort to make core college course materials available on the Web for $30 or less per class. Faculty from Washington State Community and Technical Colleges are working together to design 81 high enrollment, gatekeeper and pre-college courses for face-to-face, hybrid and/or online delivery. The goal of the Open Course Library is to improve course completion rates, lower textbook costs for students, provide new resources for faculty to use in their courses, and for the SBCTC system to fully engage the global open educational resources discussion. This last point is straight from a guiding principle of our college system's Strategic Technology Plan to “cultivate the culture and practice of using and contributing to open educational resources.”
