Short Description

The main barriers preventing faculty from creating and using open textbooks are (a) limited technical expertise, (b) limited time, (c) difficulty in finding and using existing resources, and (d) perceptions of poor production value. This project was initiated to address all of these barriers. Built from the ground up, EdTech Books was designed to make open textbook publishing fast and easy and to give these resources unparalleled production value and characteristics of quality.
