In January of 2018, the requirement that California community colleges mark their no-cost course sections went into effect [Senate Bill 1359 (Block, 2016)]. In the summer of 2022, all colleges were to have implemented the initial iteration of XB12, a section level data element that was intended to identify course sections that achieved no-cost by using Open Educational Resources (OER). Effective summer 2024, XB12 was modified to more effectively capture course costs and to identify how a section became no-cost. Unfortunately, most colleges have not designated a person(s) responsible for ensuring the effective implementation of no-cost marking and XB12 coding. Further, obtaining the information for both often require faculty to provide the data in addition to reporting standard textbook adoption information. Can a process be created to ensure that accurate course material information is available to students at the time of registration and all required coding and marking happen in a streamlined fashion? Join us for a discussion of the challenges and an array of approaches to inform your integrated – or more integrated – approach to the collection of these data.
