California Senate Bill 1359 requires CCC and CSU campuses �

  • “to clearly highlight, by means that may include a symbol or logo in a conspicuous place on the online campus course schedule, the courses that exclusively use digital course materials that are free of charge to students and may have a low-cost option for print versions.”
  • The deadline to implement this designation in your course schedules is January 2018

Potential campus planning

  • Identify courses with no-cost course materials: you will need to:
    • Communicate to all your faculty the requirement to identify the courses that exclusively use digital course materials that are free of charge to students and may have a low-cost option for print versions.
    • Ensure that all departments are applying the same criteria for designating courses
    • Provide a procedure for faculty to designate the courses meeting the above requirement to your department in a timely and reliable manner. 
  • Aggregate all the designated courses and communicate the list to staff managing the course schedule. 
  • Design and implement your tactic(s) “to clearly highlight, by means that may include a symbol or logo in a conspicuous place on the online campus course schedule”.

More potential strategies

  • Memo from Provost or VP of Instruction informing the campus community about the requirements of SB 1359 and the procedure being implemented to satisfy the requirements.
  • Create a “form” that every faculty teaching that term would have to complete to indicate if each of their course sections is using ” exclusively use digital course materials that are free of charge to students and may have a low-cost option for print versions”.
    • This “form” can be integrated into the normal book ordering process or be a separate process.
  • Administrative assistant for the department and/or bookstore staff aggregates all faculty input.
    • It is important that both the Dept Chair and Bookstore manager has the list of designated courses.

Even more potential implementation strategies

  • Determine how you will be populating your course schedule with the “z” codes for the courses with zero-cost course materials. Will you be using a PeopleSoft designation (“z” courses) for the courses with zero-cost course materials?
  • For legislative reporting purposes consider the need for implementing common attributes within PPS.
  • Design your “symbol” or “logo” for the zero-cost course materials (“z”) courses).
  • Create a prototype for the course designation in the schedule and test with student users if your design clearly communicates its meaning.
