BYOT (Build Your Own Textbook) Initiative Succeeds

We can’t fit all the good stuff into each new issue of 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Magazine that lands in your mailbox, but luckily there’s room at for plenty of online exclusives. Here’s a sampling to whet your appetite.

In textbook fashion
Robin DeRosaRobin DeRosa didn’t set out to be a champion of open education. Her Ph.D. is in early American literature, focusing on the 1400s to the 1800s. But there’s something notable about the writing in that time period: It is all freely available in the public domain. 

DeRosa noticed she was assigning an expensive required anthology for her classes, but that most of the texts she assigned from the anthology had been published centuries ago and so were actually available for free in the public domain. So she decided to do something about that. 

DeRosa – who spoke at St. Norbert’s annual T3 (Transformative Teaching & Technology) Conference – sent out a call to students to create a new free textbook, together. When it came time for this summer project, DeRosa had 10 collaborators – some alums, some current students. They researched, and copied and pasted and, cooperatively, through a grant supplied by DeRosa herself, cobbled together a free textbook the class could use for the upcoming term.

Simple, right? Done, right? Read more.
