Zero Cost Textbooks

ZTC (Zero-Textbook-Cost) classes have no textbook-related costs, including access fees for online materials. More and more community colleges are shifting to ZTC but finding Open Educational Resources (OER) to support in-class presentations can sometimes be difficult.

I created the Indie Film Professor mini-courses to be used as supportive material for ZTC courses that I teach and welcome others to use them as well. These high-quality resources are free to access that on the courses section of this site and are legally available / free of cost to students.

These course are updated often so be sure to check back regularly. More free and paid content will continue to be added to the site as well.

Within the mini courses you will find:

• PDF Lectures

• Course readings, articles, and journals

• Course packs

• Quizzes

• Streaming videos
