LCCC Associate Professor of Mathematics Jeffrey Zeager, Ph.D., was one of 11 college faculty from around the state to win the University System of Ohio second annual “Faculty Innovator Award” for their efforts to introduce digital course materials into their classroom that enrich learning and make textbooks more affordable.

Zeager and his colleague Carl Stitz, Ph.D, a professor of Mathematics at Lakeland Community College, teamed up in 2008 to start working on an electronic textbook for the College Algebra course at both colleges.  It was first available in spring semester of 2009 and again this past spring semester.
