The mission of the OER Committee is to provide coordination and leadership to promote faculty use of OER and other zero- and low-cost alternatives to commercial textbooks. The committee’s goals include:
The voting membership of the Open Educational Resources (OER) Committee shall consist of one faculty member from each academic division and one faculty librarian. Members shall be appointed by their division. The OER Committee chair shall be appointed from this membership by the Senate Executive Committee.
It is vital that members across the GCC community are involved with campuswide mission to encourage the use of OER. The work of this committee will thus require consultation with non-voting resource personnel, which may include representatives from the administration, ASGCC, Curriculum, ITS, the Library, the Bookstore, Student Services, Student Affairs, DSPS, SEA, Communications, Institutional Research, and other departments and divisions.
On the second Thursday of September, November, March, and May from 12:30-1:30 pm (twice per semester).
This mission statement was informed by the College and University Open Educational Resources (OER) Policy Development Tool (CC BY 2016).
