Las Positas College

Las Positas College promotes the use of open source textbooks and materials as an innovative solution to rising textbook costs. This initiative focuses on providing high-quality, accessible educational resources that encourage a "Learning by Doing" philosophy. From comprehensive resources like MIT OpenCourseWare to local projects, we explore various alternatives to traditional textbooks, examining their impact on student affordability and engagement. Join the discussion on how free, open educational resources can reshape learning and support diverse academic needs.
