As of April 15, 2026, over 110 submissions have been made to the COOL4Ed portal, the legislatively required place to share new open educational resources (OER) funded by the Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Degree Grant Program. An analysis of the initial submissions revealed the need for guidance related to how and what to submit to COOL4Ed, as well as the necessity of a place for the sharing of non-OER ZTC resources. The analysis also uncovered new OER that fill previously unmet needs, new ancillaries for commonly adopted OER, and effective practices that need to be incorporated into future COOL4Ed guidance. Join us to explore the good, the bad, and the ugly, discuss proposed guidance to address many of the issues, and to ask your COOL4Ed questions.
