Open Course Library
Summary
The Open Course Library (OCL) is a collection of shareable course materials, including syllabi, course activities, readings, and assessments designed by teams of college faculty, instructional designers, librarians, and other experts. Some materials (also called open educational resources, or OER) are paired with low cost textbooks ($30 or less). Many of the courses can be taught at no cost to students. Unless otherwise noted, all materials are shared under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license.
These course materials were created through an optional Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges (SBCTC) grant and is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Washington State Legislature.
