The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) recently announced the launch of the Open Course Library. According to the press release, the Open Course Library is a compilation of educational course materials for 42 of the state’s highest-enrolled college courses. They hope to reach 81 classes by 2013. Materials will cost $30 or less per student and are available free online for use by any of the 34 public community and technical colleges, four year institutions and anyone else worldwide.
For faculty, the use of the Open Course Library is optional and many are moving towards adoption according to the SBCTC.
