  14. What does “open” mean to me? Free online, cheap to print Use only the chapters you want Never forced into a new edition Don’t have to wait for a new edition to fix errors Make changes at the sentence level Add your own favorite exercises Become part of user community sharing improvements, activities, etc.

  15. For example Final project for my on-campus 107 class: The final project is to create a section that could be added to the textbook.  You may do this individually or in a group.  If your work is good, I will include it in a future edition of the textbook (provided you give me permission to use your work).

  16. But what about ancillaries? The obvious downside of open textbooks get off your lazy butt and prep your own stuff there’s a start, and with your help, we can make it great

  17. Ancillaries WAMAP.org online homework exercises for almost all chapters An online course shell in WAMAP.org with homework, quizzes, and written assignments, in process of getting QM certified A WAMAP.org course shell with in-class quizzes, activities, and lecture suggestions
