Keeping Open Textbooks Up to Date
Channel: Rebus Community
Date: 2017-07-31

In this Office Hours, Guest Speakers Lauri Aesoph, BCcampus; Shane Nackerud, University of Minnesota Libraries; and Kristen Munger, SUNY Oswego talked about how they and their organizations work to keep open textbooks up to date. 

Technology enables open textbooks to become living documents with longer lifespans than traditionally published textbooks. With that in mind, how do we care for open textbooks in the long term? How do we systematically ensure that new editions are created and that instructors know up-to-date versions are available? This session will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of maintaining open textbooks.

Office Hours is hosted by Open Textbook Network and the Rebus Community.
