The Community College Open Textbook Collaborative* (CCOTC), funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,isa collection of colleges, governmental agencies, educational nonprofits, and other education-related organizations.
The collaborative provides training for instructors adopting open resources, peer reviews of open textbooks, an online professional network, support for authors opening their resources, and other services.
What is an "Open Textbook?"
That's what we're working to define. We know it has to be
free, or very nearly free,
easy to use, get and pass around,
editable so instructors can customize content,
cross-platform compatible,
printable,
and accessible so it works with adaptive technology.
That's just the short list.
Help us shape and define what open textbooks turn out to be. Your voice will help create open textbook standards and guide development. We need you!
