If an instructor has built an OER and they get a pooled course, can they say “take the textbook back”? Or are they going to have to use the Ready-to-Teach course materials?

If an instructor is assigned a pooled section, they would need to use the required materials that were selected by the discipline. However, we are hoping that OER materials will be selected whenever then available and aligned with helping students achieve the course learning outcomes. One way to advocate for OER is to make sure your voice is heard during the Learning Design Academy process.
