another initiative to create free (open access) textbooks

We preserve the best of the old - books by leading experts that are rigorously reviewed and developed to the highest standards. Then we flip it all on its head. Our books are free online. We offer convenient, low-cost choices for students - print, audio, by-the-chapter, and more. Our books are open for instructors to mix, mash, and make their own. Our books are the hub of a social learning network where students learn from the book and each other.

initiative that will launch in 2009

Hier vind je leuke video's en tips en kun je zelf een demonstratie over leren uploaden. Heel eenvoudig en direct vanaf je eigen computer.
