  5. SCC’s transition to Open Educational resources • The Math Faculty has increasingly been using components of OER to facilitate our classroom instruction. • We have also been developing our own OER’s for use in our hybrid and online courses • New technologies such as LiveScribe Pens, SoftChalk, Screencast, MathAS and many more have been utilized. • In 2011-2012, these efforts has been brought together to create a complete learning environment for our Introductory, Intermediate and College Algebra courses. • Textbook • Online HW Software • Video Lessons • Video HW Assistance • Problem Solving Skills Development Quality?
