Open Mathematics in Action Pilot

Mathematics faculty from USG institutions implemented a set of low-cost and open educational resources and affordable materials in one or more of the math courses College Algebra (MATH 1111), Trigonometry (MATH 1112), Precalculus (MATH 1113), and Probability and Statistics (MATH 2112), supported by previous Textbook Transformation Grants project participants and co-leaders Dr. German Vargas and Dr. Victor Vega along with Affordable Learning Georgia staff. These Project Leads have been working with CCGA faculty to address the high cost of mathematics required materials through the adoption of open textbooks and low-cost online homework systems. Their initial work was supported by a Round Two ALG Textbook Transformation Grant.

Through Open Mathematics in Action, Affordable Learning Georgia and USG faculty expanded on the transformational success of the College of Coastal Georgia’s Mathematics Department by providing faculty from five institutions with the support, resources, and training needed to implement these OER in these mathematics course sections.
