CA launches open textbook initiative

Posted by karen on May 7, 2009 in Uncategorized

Calilfornia has launched an initiative for free, open textbooks for high school math and science.

Very nice to see such a high profile announcment. A little hard to see how CDE could pull this off by fall, 2009 with as much difficulty as they seem to have with other things, though.

On a related note, I’m working on a concept paper for open educational resources development for upper elementary and middle school (suitable for an EETT grant). Stay tuned for more details. Contact me if you’re interested in a collaboration on this.
