The mission of the School of Learning Resources is to increase student success and completion by providing academic services and resources to all students in all delivery formats, as well as to support faculty innovation through the sound use of educational technology and academic support services.

 

  • Distance Education comprises the fastest growing delivery mode in California Community College (CCCs). In order to provide access to all students and to comply with federal and state law, some components of distance education classes may need to provide captioning or transcriptions.

    The Distance Education Captioning and Transcription grant (DECT) provides CCCs with funding for live and synchronous captioning and transcription as a means of enhancing the access of all students to distance education courses. Further, the DECT promotes and supports awareness of available funding as a means to support faculty efforts to develop high-quality, media-rich distance learning courses.

  • Zero Textbook Cost textbooks, known as ZTC textbooks or OER (Open Educational Resources) for short, are digital textbooks available for free to students.

    Many instructors at College of the Canyons have chosen to use these textbooks in their classrooms to cut educational costs for students. As textbook prices rise, more and more courses are utilizing ZTC textbooks to provide a free alternative to traditional textbooks.

    You can take classes with free textbooks! Classes that use ZTC textbooks are listed in the class schedule. To enroll in a class without any textbook fees, open the class schedule and check the box, “Search for ZTC sections.” There is a textbook icon with a slashed money sign beneath the box. Once you’ve checked this box, click “Submit” at the bottom of the page to generate the class sections with no textbooks costs. You can click on a class section to verify that it is a ZTC textbook course. There will be a note explaining that the class uses a no-cost digital textbook.
