Overview
Cañada College recognizes the continued high cost of textbooks and course materials as a barrier that impacts student success.
An increasing number of Cañada faculty are utilizing zero textbook cost (ZTC) materials and/or open educational resources (OER) for their classes.
Instructors understand that barriers to affordable textbooks and course materials are an equity issue that can be addressed by using course materials available to students at no-cost or lower-cost.
