[Wsssc] FW: Research brief: Affordable Cost for Course Materials

[Joe Holliday]

Colleagues: below is an update on OER and a heads up about a webinar on February 21 that will share the results. There will likely be an OER item in WACTCSA's leg agenda next year, to extend its use further. Edward and Ruben will be distributing this to all WSSSC Council lists.

Edward, could you forward this message to your commission and councils with my deepest appreciation?

Great news!



As you may know, in late 2017 WACTCSA<https://www.facebook.com/WACTCSA/> and SBCTC<sbctc.edu> conducted a survey on the affordability of course materials with our state community & technical college students.



Led by the Student Association, with assistance from many system councils and commissions, this was a true system-wide collaboration. We are happy to report that we collected over 10,000 responses from our students.



We have finished the initial analysis of data and are ready to share a summary of preliminary findings:



*        Research brief<https://tinyurl.com/wa-students2>

*        Slide presentation<https://tinyurl.com/wa-students3>

*        Interactive dashboard<https://tinyurl.com/wa-students-dash>



Want to know more?  We are offering a webinar on Feb 21. To register, visit CCCOER Spring Webinar Series<https://www.cccoer.org/2018/01/23/cccoer-spring-2018-webinars/>. A full report will be released in March 2018.



Thank you again for your incredible support and partnership. We did it!
