CCCOER/Marketing

Benefits - Joining CCCOER

 * a stronger voice for community colleges in determining which open educational resources including textbooks are created, reviewed, disseminated, adopted, and employed by students to gain skills and knowledge.

Please see the article by Dr. Judy Baker: It Takes a Consortium to Support Open Textbooks in Educause.

Prior to the creation of CCCOER, the 4-year institutions, graduate schools, and K-12 were dictating the direction of the open resources movement.

Member colleges will be given preference in selection as venues for on-site workshops. These colleges will be reimbursed for the costs associated with the workshops and their employees given some preference in registration.
