John, I...Thanks for the comments, Gloria and John. John, I am aware of most you have listed but, was not aware of BC campus open textbooks http://open.bccampus.ca/ Thanks for sharing the links.<br />I am especially interested in library led initiatives such as SUNY Open Textbooks and those open textbook initiatives in which there is rigorous peer-review. -Thanks again!Robin Ashfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867035352518158417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180526233196219825.post-28777380747525135622014-03-20T14:11:32.168-07:002014-03-20T14:11:32.168-07:00Robin,
there's a couple of other initiatives...Robin, <br /><br />there's a couple of other initiatives that might be of interest (apologies if you know of these already): <br /><br />U Min Open Textbooks review https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ <br />College open textbooks href="http://www.collegeopentextbooks.org"<br />Oer consortium http://oerconsortium.org/discipline-specific/ <br />Saylor textbooks http://www.saylor.org/books/ <br />BC campus open textbooks http://bccampus.pressbooks.com <br />Mit OCW textbooks http://mitopencourseware.wordpress.com/ocw-bookshelf/ <br /><br />On of the great things about the BC campus initiative is their survey of what Open Textbooks are already available in the areas there looking into and what they can remix as well as what they will create. <br />In case it's of interest I've a few other thoughts on finding OER http://kavubob.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/were-going-on-an-oer-hunt/ .<br />Best wishes,<br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180526233196219825.post-11016125908035697982014-03-20T13:38:45.193-07:002014-03-20T13:38:45.193-07:00It is definitely worthwhile to investigate a susta...It is definitely worthwhile to investigate a sustainable model.<br /><br />One of the long term benefits of this kind of initiative would be the ongoing fluid sharing of scholarship. Once faculty have published peer-reviewed Open Textbooks they can revise, add to appendices, etc. so that findings are shared immediately with learners.
