Open Textbooks:
Commercial textbooks are excellent resources, but they are heavy and (often) expensive. More and more students are asking for digital resources to support their learning. I am involved with two open textbook projects at both URegina and USask to bring online textbook options to our undergraduate students. From the instructor side, these resources also offer flexibility for incorporating edits and updates and expanding and adapting content. If you are an instructor and you are interested in adapting or getting involved with either of these projects please drop me an email!
