Re: [Openkpu] BCcampus OpenEd: Jan 9/18 - new books and updates

Thank you, Laura! This is great news, indeed, and I'll second Una's comment regarding the specific need for Early Childhood Education OER in California. I'm forwarding that information to my ECE Colleagues in the San Mateo County Community College District. My Child Development course is the only one I don't have sufficient OER resources to offer my students (my other courses are General Psych and Positive Psych, both of which are now OER/ZTC).
