Openness is going mainstream, whether it's called open educational resources (OER), open textbooks, or massive open online courses (MOOCs). Attend this panel discussion to find out how California Community Colleges are leveraging open education to lower student costs and expand access. Topics will include adopting open textbooks, designing open online courses at community colleges, and integrating openness into professional development. You will also learn how your college can become involved in the open education movement and participate in a community of practice to share knowledge and find partners for collaboration.

Notas do Editor
- Project Kaleidoscope was funded by a Next Generation Learning Challenges grant. The purpose is to create a set of fully open general education courses across eight colleges serving predominantly at-risk students. The intent of the project was and is to dramatically reduce textbook costs and allow collaborative improvement of course design to improve student success.Kaleidoscope is a cross-institutional collaboration. The Kaleidoscope course designs are created by cross-institutional teams. Each course design is being developed by at least two partner institutions, and will be adopted by faculty members from other colleges.
- The Kaleidoscope Project commits to use only open educational resources (OER) in its course designs. The belief is that OER will not only reduce the cost of textbooks, but will also create course designs that can be shared, evaluated and continually improved upon. The use of openly licensed content provides the project participantswith greater control and affords greater creativity in changing materials to match student needs and faculty preferences.However, problems have been encountered finding OER in some areas such as Humanities. Because of this, preferences for using OER were established:Whenever possible, use open educational resources with explicit open licenses. The preference is to download the materials and bring them directly into the course rather than linking to them. Where the openly licensed content cannot be downloaded, it is to be linked to from within the course designs.Link to content that is not explicitly marked with an open license if the materials have been posted by the owner/creator using a delivery mechanism with the express purpose of open sharing of the material. Specific examples include YouTube videos, TED videos, and public blogs. This content will not be downloaded and embedded in the course designs without explicit permission from the content owner. only when other options are exhausted - Where copyrighted material is required for the course copyright clearance will be pursued from the content owner. If clearance cannot be obtained, the items will be purchased with a preference to permanently acquire the content rather than a time-based use.
- Goals of Project Kaleidoscope:Eliminate textbook costs as an obstacle to student successIncrease student success through assessment-driven enhancement of an OER curriculum that addresses at-risk students’ learning needsCreate a community that will collaboratively evaluate and improve open course designs based on student learning results

- The partner institutions were to complete initial Kaleidoscope course designs and pilot the courses in Fall 2011. Enhancements to these courses were to be implemented in Spring 2012.Courses available are:Beginning algebra (developmental)Intermediate algebra (developmental)Reading (developmental)Writing (developmental)English compositionCollege successMath faculty developers just finished their work so here are the KaleidoscopeMath Courses that will be available:Pre Aleg/Aritmatic courseBeg algebraInter algebraCollege algebraTrigCalc 1, 2, 3Stats
- The courses that are developed are fully OER and will be available to everyone. Still, there is an emphasis in the project on working with institutions to address many of the common systemic obstacles to OER adoption. As such, they are generally slow getting the open access versions of the courses posted. Instead, the focus ison working with faculty within the partner institutions to use the courses. Several of the existing courses are available on the project website. (http://www.project-kaleidoscope.org/courses/)
- Based on its positive impact on student success, Kaleidoscope has received scaling funding to create new open course frameworks, and to engage with new institutional partners. Funding extends through 2013 and 2014. Board elected November 2012 – Phase II – governance is a requirement for Phase IIColleges are designating faculty for new courses.Next 20 (25 inc.

- establish the California Open Education Resources Council under the administration of the Intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates of the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, or a successor group. The bill would specify that the council would have 9 members, including 3 faculty members from each of the public postsecondary segments, selected by the respective faculty senates of each segment. The bill would require the appointments to the council to be made no later than 90 days after the bill becomes operative.The bill would require the California Open Education Resources Council to determine a list of 50 lower division courses in the public postsecondary segments for which high-quality, affordable, digital open source textbooks and related materials would be developed or acquired, as specified, pursuant to the bill. The bill would also require the council to review and approve developed open source materials and to promote strategies for production, access, and use of open source textbooks to be placed on reserve at campus libraries in accordance with this section.The bill would require that the council regularly solicit and consider, from each of the statewide student associations of the University of California, the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, advice and guidance on open source education textbooks and related materials, as specified.The bill would require the council to establish a competitive request-for-proposal process in which faculty members, publishers, and other interested parties would apply for funds to produce, in 2013, 50 high-quality, affordable, digital open source textbooks and related materials, meeting specified requirements.The bill also would require the council to submit a report to the Legislature and the Governor on the progress of the implementation of these provisions by no later than 6 months after the bill becomes operative and to submit a final report by January 1, 2016.
- 66408.(a) The California Digital Open Source Library is hereby established, and shall be administered by the California State University, in coordination with the California Community Colleges, for the purpose of housing open source materials while providing an Internet Web-based way for students, faculty, and staff to easily find, adopt, utilize, or modify course materials for little or no cost. The California State University shall also act in coordination with the University of California in administering the California Digital Open Source Library if the regents act, by appropriate resolution, to authorize the university to participate in the administration of the library.(b) All material in the California Digital Open Source Library shall bear a creative commons attribution license that allows others to use, distribute, and create derivative works based upon the digital material while still allowing the authors or creators of the material to receive credit for their efforts.(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the public postsecondary educational segments assist and support faculty in choosing lower cost, more flexible, and dynamic alternatives such as open source textbooks and related teaching tools. Nothing in this section shall be construed to mandate faculty use of any particular textbook or related materials.
