With Open Textbooks, Access = Opportunity
Description:
Open textbooks are freely available, customizable teaching and learning materials that are transforming higher education. They give every student in the class day-one access to required course materials, improving student success and retention. They also provide lifelong learning opportunities for people of all ages, anywhere in the world. In this session, you'll learn where to find open textbooks, how to evaluate their quality, how open textbooks can be customized, how to overcome common barriers to adoption, and how to promote open textbooks at your library.
