SUMMARY:Coalinga College Embraces Academic Freedom With LibreTexts
DESCRIPTION:Coalinga College received the ASCCC 2024-2025 Exemplary Program Award this year for the extraordinary feat of moving from 10% OER adoption rates amongst full-time faculty to 85%. Situated in a town of 17\,000\, Coalinga College serves the town and an area of  surrounding communities over 2000 square miles. \nSome of the Coalinga faculty join us today to talk about their understanding of students’ needs and how OERs have helped them engage their students in the learning process. OERs\, and LibreTexts’ Remixer tool\, have made it simple to include all and only the material they want to present\, in the order that they consider best\, without having to worry about students getting lost. \nFaculty are no longer bound by what a publisher thinks the content presentation should be. And they can ensure they have the materials they need from Day One\, so they no longer need to delay diving into the materials. Faculty time can be spent teaching instead of having to wait for students to have the books delivered. \nFour faulty members will discuss their experiences with OER adoption\, and how they continue to make change for their community.
