Career and AI Readiness
while Remixing Open Textbooks through an Equity Lens
(CA-ROTEL)
The CA-ROTEL Project offers faculty at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Framingham State University, and Northern Essex Community College to form cross-institutional teams to adapt existing Open Educational Resources (OER) and create new ancillary materials for high-enrollment general education courses. This project focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI), enhancing career readiness skills, and promoting student engagement.
