Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources

Everyone complains about textbook prices. Who's going to do something about them? A consortium of community colleges has created the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources. Its goal is "to identify, create and/or repurpose required course content as Open Textbooks and make them available for use by community college students and faculty in America and globally."

The first open textbook, Collaborative Statistics, is now freely available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license for use by community college statistics professors at http://cnx.org/content/col10522/latest/. More open textbooks are now being identified for use in the months and years ahead. As CCCOER develops and more open textbooks are created, located, and used by community college professors, more information will be added to this website.
