What is an open textbook?

  • Open textbooks are just like traditional textbooks except that the authors have decided to publish them under an open copyright license.
  • Open textbooks provide an exciting alternative to traditional books that can save students money and improve the educational experience.
  • Open textbooks are available free online and for very low cost in print.
  • Recent research has shown that open textbooks are as effective, if not more effective, than traditionally-published course materials.
  • Individual faculty members can customize open textbooks to make them better fit their classes.
