College of the Canyons officials celebrated the Zero-Cost Textbook Program Friday, awarding professors for their success. The college implemented the OER program in 2014 and has served as a model for other California community colleges looking at zero-textbook cost for students, according to COC officials. Dozens of students, educators, and administrators from COC met on campus to award faculty because of their success with the Open Educational Resources (OER) program. OER materials are electronic textbooks that are available, free of cost, in an open domain for students to use immediately, according to officials. https://www.hometownstation.com/santa-clarita-news/education/college-of-the-canyons/college-of-the-canyons-celebrates-zero-cost-textbook-program-265025
