  8. Flexible Can be used within popular CMS’s and repositories Customizable by a teacher, a department, or a system

  9. NROC Network Case Studies Replacing Costly Textbooks CHALLENGE: Textbook prices are too high. On teaching US History without a textbook “. . . we turned to NROC. I left my discussion questions, midterms, and finals the same as they were when we used the textbook, so I could compare outcomes. I was happy to find that my students are right on track with the digital alternative . . . “ Karen Kaemmerling Chair of Social Sciences, CCCOnline

  10. NROC Network Case Studies Course Redesign CHALLENGE: Replace some classroom time with online course components We chose the NROC content because it is high quality, and includes lessons, learning objects, activities and assessments, all of which may be used separately. The fact that lessons can be “chunked” in ways that work for the individual faculty member make them more desirable than other third party content. Michael Anderson, Assistant Director, UT System TeleCampus

  11. NROC Network Case Studies Sharing Through a Central Repository CHALLENGE: Promote content sharing and save development costs among 35 member colleges. "Starting a statewide digital repository is a challenge.At the core of the project, the repository mustoffer sufficient rich multimedia and high quality resources to attract and motivate faculty to use repository content. In Florida, we are licensing the high quality NROC content library to form that essential content core." Susie Henderson, Director, Orange Grove

  12. Member Usage Credit Recovery Making textbooks supplemental Reaching students with special needs Jumpstarting dual enrollment & AP prep Cross-disciplinary studies Seeding statewide repositories BlendedLearning
