The goal of this SC4 & OER guide is to encourage and support the creation, use, and sharing of Open Educational Resources and Library purchased items in courses at St. Clair County Community College. The college library has curated a list of available resources as a jumping off point for faculty to explore. The library will gladly assist in the organization of resources via course guide or eReserves.

The MCO created the Michigan Colleges Online Hub for our member institutions as a way to reduce costs for students, increase student success and completion, and allow for inter-institutional collaboration with faculty. Our Institutions are creating, sharing, and collaborating on high-quality OER for use in today's classrooms. Join a group and begin contributing today.

We welcome book and resource recommendations! Please submit the form to request that the library obtain an item or resource.
