Discover Open Textbooks: Make Education More Accessible
June 30, 2010 - 8:03pm | by Chinkley
The high cost of textbooks prevents thousands of students from attending college according to the Open College Textbook Act of 2009. Join College Open Textbooks for this hands-on session where we will guide you through the discovery and adoption of high-quality, accessible, and culturally-relevant open textbooks using our website, MERLOT, Connexions, Orange Grove, and Wikibooks. Faculty adopters will share strategies for adopting open textbooks and their students' reactions. Take away the knowledge and skills to become an advocate for open textbooks on your campus and get support from our online community of practitioners.
We encourage attendees to bring a laptop to this session.
