CHALLENGE:
Textbook prices are too high.
On teaching US History without a textbook:
“. . . we turned to NROC. I left my discussion questions, midterms, and finals the same as they were when we used the textbook, so I could compare outcomes. I was happy to find that my students are right on track with the digital alternative . . . “

Sharing Learning Resources
CHALLENGE:
Promote content sharing and save development costs
On launching a statewide repository:
"Starting a statewide digital repository is a challenge. At the core of the project, the repository must offer sufficient rich multimedia and high quality resources to attract and motivate faculty to use repository content. In Florida, we are licensing the high quality NROC content library to form that essential content core."
Susie Henderson, Director, Orange Grove
among 35 member colleges.
