CSUSB does not have AB 798 grant. Can we apply for AB 798 for the first time this Spring or is it too late?

Meghan Cason

19:16

So, if we did 50 the first time, we'd be required to do an additional 100? Unique sections?

tdykes

19:39

Hi Bibiana. Per what Gerry is saying, yes, you can apply in partnership with a current ab 798 grantee. we can help you with this.

Bibiana D. @CSUSB

19:58

how many course sections do you need for the first time applying for the grant?

Suzanne Wakim

20:18

I love the idea! But, why would campuses that are applying by themselves get priority funding over those that are partnering with other campuses?

Bibiana D. @CSUSB

21:00

Ok, so I cannot do it for the first time? We will have to partner with someone? if you can find one to help us. This would be great!!

tdykes

21:13

Bibiana. Minimum application is 10 courses which includes $10K.

tdykes

21:23

Suzanne. We'll ask Gerry.

Bibiana D. @CSUSB

21:54

Great! I have now 17!

tdykes

22:22

Great. Go for it. It's $1K per course.

Dan Crump

23:00

So...I was not a Phase I grantee, but am thinking of Phase II. Can I use materials placed by Phase I grantees in COOL4Ed for my courses?

Bibiana D. @CSUSB

23:11

Can we use AB 798 grant money to give to the librarians to help faculty to buy e-book liscenses to students?

Ron Oxford

23:14

If items are already in COOL4ED do we want to load again? Do we need several links to an openstax psych book for example?

Jim Julius

23:16

Is there a link to the procedures for “cataloging” OER in AB 798?

tdykes

23:23

Dan. That's a yes.

Dan Crump

23:56

What does the "partnering" entail. Do we both have to have a certain number of sections to fulfill?

Brian Beatty

24:08

Where in the legislation does it require “double” the goal (50 sections) from the year 1 funding?

Meghan Cason

24:15

So, if we did 50 sections the first time, we'd be required to do an additional 100? Unique sections?

Suzanne Wakim

24:22

That makes sense - thank you Gerry :)

Dan Crump

24:25

Is "partnering" meant to be more like "mentoring" from the Phase I grantee?

Jinan Darwiche

25:07

So in round 2, we can propose 50 new sections for 50K or 100 new sections for 50K?

tdykes

25:09

Jim. We've got a form for submitting the OER for us to add to COOL

Brian Beatty

25:22

I found the “doubling” language - para (6)

Jaime Hannans

25:28

For round 2 funding, are the numbers for doubling the sections based on the original RFP submitted or based upon the progress made with round 1 funding?

Jim Julius

25:41

Teresa, is that an online form? Or something you’ll email to us?

Dan Crump

25:50

So, a strict reading of AB 798 is that Phase II was just for Phase I grantees. Gerry is trying to find a way for non-Phase I colleges to get on board. Sorry. should have written "Round" instead of "Phase."

So if we think we can do another 50 for round two, do we need to partner? Not that I wouldn't be happy to share ideas, etc. but I think we'd appreciate not sharing the $ as that has been critical to getting the adoptions.

Dan Crump

29:09

We call in "initiative fatigue" in the CCCs!

tdykes

29:26

If your campus can get 50 implementations on your own, no need to partner.

Jim Julius

30:11

Ok thanks, Teresa, that’s a view only sheet so what’s the best way for us to add our stuff to it?

Dan Crump

30:37

But do non-Round 1's need to get a partner to particiapte in Round 2?

Walter Butler

30:42

So, if we went over our goal (ie: we have 60 sections instead of 50), we would need to convert an addtional 50. Can we include the extra sections (in this case 10) that we were able to convert for the next round -- or do we start at "0" at the beginning of round 2 and only count new converts from that point forward for the new "50"?

susan wilson

30:44

I'm sorry if I missed it, but what is the timeline for implementation for round two?

Bibiana D. @CSUSB

30:58

Can we use AB 798 grant money to give to the librarians to help faculty to buy e-book liscenses to students? or the 1k is just for the Faculty?

Meghan Cason

31:01

Same Q as Walter

Shelli Wynants

31:13

Same Q as Walter too

Meghan Cason

32:11

We exceeded 50 in the fall, and are expecting new conversions in WInter/Spring...

Deb Perry

32:23

I also have a note about the Cool4Ed cataloging and sharing. For sections that used Existing Institutional Resources (library articles and ebooks), there would be nothing to catalog/share via Cool4Ed.

Jim Julius

32:55

Ok got it, thanks

Shelli Wynants

33:34

I thought 798 grant was no cost/OER only, not 30% reduction - my understanding was only AL$ grant was 30%. I'm confused.

Meghan Cason

34:16

No, you only have to reduce by 30% for AB-798

tdykes

35:08

@Shelli - AB798 requires 30% cost savings. SB 1359 is no cost (ZCCM).

Larry

35:29

Tahoe will probabably not have another 50 courses, since we are small, but we could partner.

susan wilson

35:36

In addition to 30% savings, you also have to save at least $1000 for the course.

Jinan Darwiche

35:45

Is it possible to get a list of colleges that did not apply in round 1 so we contact them to partner with them?

lsederberg

35:53

So could there be a partnership with Suzanne at Butte and Chico State?

tdykes

36:25

Jinan. we have a list online and will share the info with the listserv after this call

tdykes

36:57

hi Susan, only need to save 30%

Shelli Wynants

37:24

@Teresa - then I submitted incorrect info on my draft, as I only listed OER/no cost as that was our proposed goal "50 sections OER/no cost" - should I go and add all the 30% reductions that I have on my AL$ grant then, even though that wasn't the goal we purposed ot achieve?

Suzanne Wakim

37:47

Is the whole partnership limited to $50K or $50K each?

Suzanne Wakim

39:40

Walter had a great question above

susan wilson

39:52

What is the timeline for implemetation of round 2 courses?

Meghan Cason

39:59

I'd liek an answer to Walter's Q too

Brian Beatty

40:04

Sounds like a good plan - lots of flexibility.

Lia Dearborn

40:15

Sounds good!

Larry

40:15

thumbs up

Bryan Berrett - Fresno State

40:22

good

Walter Butler

40:42

:)

Meghan Cason

41:12

I was thinking along those lines too! Confirmation :)

Walter Butler

41:42

Got it.

Jen Carlin-Goldberg

41:49

We are thinking about participating, it sounds good to me.

Jaime Hannans

41:56

Thanks Walter, I had the same question

tdykes

42:13

Fall 2018, Spring 2019

Cherylee Kushida

42:33

thumbs up - (would be nice to provide more $ to partiner colleges.)

Dan Crump

43:51

Gerry, thank you for all the work you have done on this!!

Final Report: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17cVB3lhIxG0itxeZ582u65uWWrexGqP9tNKG5egVQF8/edit#gid=938987158

Brian Beatty

45:15

Since courses using EIR (articles from the Library database, etc.) are not using real OER, do we have to list all those articles for every course section? That doesn’t seem useful or practical.

Also big thanks to Theresa and Leslie. I served on COERC and they did a great job!

Dan Crump

46:05

It's a full-time job just trying to read all the listservs for OER suggestions.

tdykes

46:49

@Thank you, Dan. Feeling is mutual.

Larry

47:03

Will there be a way to include Canvas created materials?

Bibiana D. @CSUSB

47:30

Erin is wonderful!! Thank you!

tdykes

47:33

@Larry - we're determining how to do. Will keep you posted.

Jim Julius

48:56

Sorry to keep asking this, Teresa. So now I see on the final reporting template that there is a space for OER names and links. If we just put it there then that’s it on our end - someone on your end will translate that over to the OER list you shared?

Shelli Wynants

49:34

CSUF has the symbol in place in Peoplesoft for Spring 2018 so Zero Cost is searchable on our digital schedule

tdykes

50:04

@Jim - Yes, please use whichever one works best for you.

Mary McMillan

50:40

Our SIS is Colleague and, according to our campus ITS department, our version does not allow us to make the schedule searchable by ZCCM/OER, nor can we add any graphical icons, so we are likely only able to create a pdf list of courses for the time being (or so I have been told). Is anyone else using Colleague? What was needed?

Jim Julius

50:47

Ok, thanks, Teresa - I don’t see any way to directly add to the OER list so I will just include it on our report.

tdykes

51:13

@Jim - sounds good,.

Jared Ceja

51:15

We have the process in place for ZCCM with a systems link between the Bookstore and Enrollment Services systems. Educating faculty on ZCCM/SB1359 is ongoing.

Dan Crump

51:47

Re: 1359 and online schedule. I agree with Gerry's thoughts. I will also message LeBaron Woodyard in the CCC Chancellor's Office for his thoughts.

Cherylee Kushida

52:28

Just put into production today - Colleague

Jen Carlin-Goldberg

52:39

We have fully implemented our SB 1359 process and it seems to be working fine. We are also working on a resolution where we will also tag courses that are low-cost to students, not just free. We have a problem, though. We are having trouble defining low-cost in a way that will be easy to program into our system. Is anyone working on something similar?

Cherylee Kushida

53:11

htp://webadvisor.rsccd.edu icon is used to indicate search field

Jim Julius

53:59

We’re collecting ZTC info directly from faculty within our PeopleSoft SIS. This results in the logo being displayed with the class in the online schedule and also all ZTC classes are dynamically listed here: http://www.miracosta.edu/instruction/oer/classes.aspx (133 at present)

Jim Julius

54:16

Students also can search on ZTC status in the online schedule.

Jim Julius

54:50

We’re working on approving an LTC designation as well which will work the same way - faculty will self-designate for each class directly in the SIS.

Deb Perry

54:54

How has everyone communicated to their students about the new ZCCM designation and icon? Just curious to learn some new ideas, thanks!

Mary McMillan

55:08

One other question that came from our Deans...if the materials need to be digital in format, and this means students must then have access to a computer, but do not have their own, does this not negate the class being "zero-cost"?

De-Laine Cyrenne

55:13

Jen - we’re working on a under $40 version, too, at SacState

Jared Ceja

55:48

We were under the impression that goggles, yoga mats, lab coats, graphing calculators or similar would not qualify as ZCCM since it has a student cost.

Jared Ceja

56:36

We are excluding basic school supplies since most students will not need to make a purchase specifically for any one course.

Deb Perry

56:37

Thanks Leslie and everyone!

Deb Perry

We tried the student newspaper and they did not bite.

Jim Julius

58:57

Thanks, Teresa, Leslie, Gerry, & co! Gotta run …

Jared Ceja

01:00:52

We have some classes with things like Art Supply kits and similar that carry a significant cost. I would not advocate for putting a ZCCM icon on a course with any non-standard required supplies with a student cost. It doesn't seem transparent.

Thank you for that confirmation Theresa. That is what I was assuming as well, but wanted to be sure I was answering internal questions correctly.

Deb Perry

01:03:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks Gerry & Leslie!

Titan Shops bookstore at Fullerton has done extensive work including national surveys, publisher partnership, etc. to identify ‘low-cost.’ They have developed a chart with icons to identify different levels of low-cost. The difficulty is that certain disciplines (STEM, Business, and Nursing) materials are always much higher cost than other disciplines and it may appear to be an unfair comparison of instructors’ efforts regarding affordable solutions.
