Students at many Washington community and technical colleges will have more access to low-cost or free textbooks and class materials following completion of a project known as the Open Course Library. Students and teachers at two-year schools in the Tacoma area are leading the way. Launched in 2011, the OCL project is a collection of online materials – everything from course activities to readings and assessments – developed by teams of educators from the state’s two-year colleges. The courses include digital textbooks that are either free or cost no more than $30, offering the potential for big savings for students. “Students are clearly the winners,” said Marty Brown, executive director of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
