Faculty Open Educational Resources (OER): OER Texts & Articulation

From the Guiding Notes for GE Reviewers (2019):

"Texts do not need to be published in hard copy. The UC and CSU welcome the use of online texts and other Open Educational Resources (OER), so long as the resource is a stable, bona fide textbook, and not just a collection of links to lecture notes or other web pages."

On the UC website:

• Open Educational Resources (OER), or online/digital texts, are acceptable if they are stable and publicly available as published textbooks, not a list of web links.
