Description

Now in its second year, The Open Textbook Collaborative (OTC), a New Jersey Higher Education OER Project funded by the US Department of Education FIPSE program, is engaged in the process of producing and disseminating OER Resources. Addressing gaps in the “Open Textbook Marketplace” and more specifically in STEM-intensive Vocational and Career Education programs is our specific focus. We will discuss our progress towards a new model for career-oriented Open publishing based on a library-led collaboration between individual faculty members, educational institutions, professional associations, and industry partners. Additionally, we plan to discuss the projects already underway, as well as highlight our successes and challenges. Finally, we will offer an overview into OpenNJ and our Open Publishing Tool before opening up the floor to questions and offering you opportunities to join us in contributing to the OTC in any number of ways.
