Open Educational Resources
Open Educational Resources (OER): Getting Started
“Open educational resources” means high-quality teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released pursuant to an intellectual property license that permits their free use and repurposing by others, and may include other resources that are legally available and free of cost to students. Open educational resources include, but are not limited to, full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, faculty-created content, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge. --California Education Code, Section 78052 (b) (4)
San Diego City College is one of nine schools in a nation-wide cohort chosen to participate in the 2018-2019 OpenStax Institutional Partnership Program to encourage use of free, peer-reviewed textbooks on campus. SDCC was chosen to participate after a rigorous application process that included demonstrating willingness to drive adoption of open educational resources (OER).
Institutional partners will receive individualized consulting from OpenStax and join a cohort of schools advocating widespread use of OER at their schools.
The 2016-2017 cohort of partner schools saw a 150% increase in student use of OER in the 2017-2018 academic year, saving an additional 50,000 students $4.9 million.

Coming Soon: Canvas Institute
SDCCD Online Learning Pathways staff are currently developing the Canvas Institute beginning this summer and continuing throughout the year. Flex credit will be made available. The goal of the workshops is to give faculty further assistance in developing their course in Canvas (especially those who choose not to take the Canvas Transition Course).
Although we have not fully developed the format and agenda for the Canvas Institute as of this writing, we plan to use Zoom for the workshops. The Canvas Institute will be a series of workshops for beginner and intermediate level course development.
Coming Soon: Canvas Hands-On Workshops
SDCCD Online Learning Pathways staff are currently developing Canvas Hands-On Workshops to be held in the Fall 2018. The goal is to have one workshop held at each of the campuses and Continuing Education. Flex credit will be made available.
Grandfathered Faculty
The SDCCD Online Learning Pathways Online Faculty Certification Program was established in 2011. If you have been teaching online prior to that year, you may have been “grandfathered” in to teach online and “exempted” from getting certified or may have had WebCT training (please check with your VPI or Dean). If so, we recommend that you visit this Handbook for changes in Title 5, Ed Code, and ADA, Section 508 requirements.
