Yes and it is defined by California Educational Code Section 67423 as "...high-quality teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license, such as a Creative Commons license, that permits their free use and re-purposing by others, and may include other resources that are legally available and free of cost to students." With the formation of the new Student Equity and Achievement (SEA) Program, the educational code (AB 1809) has been revised to make OER adoption and ZTC Degree pathways an encouraged use of the SEA funding.
