Our Goal
With a commitment to promoting equitable and successful outcomes for our students, particularly those from disproportionately impacted groups, the Moorpark College Strategic Plan includes a goal of increasing the number of ZTC designated courses from 8.6% (328 courses) in 2019 to 20% (769 courses) in 2023.
Where are we now?
We are making progress toward our goal, but we need more textbook heroes to join the Open Education revolution! Here's a breakdown of our ZTC courses by semester:
- Fall 2020: 234 ZTC courses
- Spring 2020: 172 ZTC courses
- Fall 2019: 104 ZTC courses
- Spring 2019: 135 ZTC courses
What's the impact?
In a recent comparison of MC student outcomes in courses taught by the same professor before and after adoption of a zero-cost textbook, our Institutional Research findings echoed those of other ZTC/OER programs:
- Course success rates increased by 1.3% for all students
- Course success rates increased by 2.3% for Hispanic students
