Institutionalizing Open Educational Resources and Open Education Practices in Community Colleges discusses how community colleges can institutionalize OER and open practices. It recommends that educational materials created using state funding in California community colleges should be made openly available under a CC BY license. It also outlines how Northern Virginia Community College created an OER culture by formulating a clear plan, building internal capacity, developing support mechanisms, and collaborating/sharing. Achieving the Dream aims to improve student outcomes through knowledge sharing and innovative solutions among community colleges.
