The Goals for LibreTexts 101 and Beyond

All California Community Colleges now use Canvas as their course management system. Thus, "LibreTexts 101 and Beyond" was created to facilitate the use of OER that can be found in LibreTexts and easily integrated into Canvas. As one of the largest repositories of OER available, LibreTexts provides a powerful tool for faculty and an accessible and innovative learning experience for students. LibreTexts 101 and Beyond will provide you with an overview of how to:

  • find resources in LibreTexts Links to an external site. and then integrate those resources into a Canvas course.
  • adapt openly-licensed resources to your teaching style.
  • combine multiple resources into a unique customized OER.

Quick Overview of the 3 Modules

These resources have been compiled and created to advance your understanding of LibreTexts, whether you have no experience, a little experience, or a lot. Additional resources that focus on developing and integrating interactive exercises into Canvas are also in development. Select the starting point that aligns best with your LibreTexts experience or begin with Module 1 to review the LibreTexts basics.
