$200,000

for program support and scaling of the California Open Online Library for Education (COOL4ED)

The California State University’s Merlot and COOL4ED programs work to institutionalize the adoption of OER across California’s community college and state university systems. With this supplement, CSU will be able to leverage additional state resources to develop OER and work to spread the California model to other states and higher education systems, including historically black colleges and universities. This project will promote greater adoption and use of open textbooks in higher education and will make education more affordable by providing faculty and students access to free and lower-cost instructional materials.
