Name:
Jeff LeCount

What are some of the classes you teach? Speech, Oral Interpersonal Communication, and Applied Communication
How long have you been with CVTC? This is my 20th year at CVTC.

How long have you been using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks?
I have been using OER/AER for the last 3-4 years.

What is your favorite part of using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? I think my favorite aspect of OER/AER texts is the fact that they are often electronically available. Any estimated student cost savings from using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks?
The savings for students is usually between $75-150 per book.

Fun fact: If people ask me how I'm doing, I usually respond with some weird statement like, "I've pretty much got life down to the point where I'm only crazy on the days that end in 'Y'!"

Using an OER textbook allows me to have a stable curriculum for my course. The concepts taught in first semester Physics have not changed in the last 50 years. When I used a textbook from a publisher, the scope and sequence of the book, the content, and the problem sets changed every two to three years. I was always changing my lessons to match the publishers changed content. When I switched to an OER book, I got off the textbook merry-go-round.

Photoshop Fundamentals, Typography Fundamentals, Motion Graphics, and Design Photography How long have you been with CVTC? 2 years How long have you been using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? Since the start! What is your favorite part of using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? A lot of the courses I teach focus on the Adobe software, which is updated frequently with a major update annually. With no-cost textbooks, students aren't forced to purchase something that'll be outdated in a few months. During my freshman year of college, I purchased a $100+ Adobe Photoshop CS4 textbook, only for the CS5 update to be released towards the end of my first semester. I'm happy that my students don't have to purchase materials that'll soon be outdated like I did! Any estimated student cost savings from using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? $60-100 per course Fun fact: In 2014, I was part of a team that made a docu...
