About CCOTC


 
The Community College Open Textbook Collaborative* (CCOTC), funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, is a 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!

For organizations and community colleges interested in joining - Please contact us.

For individuals - please join the
College Open Textbooks Professional Network and participate in the conversation and development of open textbooks that benefit all college students.
