Open books are free and repositories grow day by day; with them, teachers
can enrich their teaching practice and at the same time provide their
students with material tailored to their needs.

Open books are revolutionizing the education world. Forget the math books from 1990, or your fourth grade student carrying around a backpack almost half his or her weight, and be sure that you are teaching up-to-date content in your classroom!

Back in 2014, we brought to your attention an image archive rivaling the largest of its kind on the web: the Internet Archive Book Images collection at Flickr.

Peer Production and Co-Production: A New Approach to Solving Common Problems Together - College Open Textbooks Community

Peer Production and Co-Production: A New Approach to Solving Common Problems Together - College Open Textbooks Community | Open Educational Resources | Scoop.it
From collegeopentextbooks.ning.com - July 2, 2012 9:28 PM

Aalto University in Finland has a new publication, "Towards Peer Production in Public Services: Cases from Finland" available for free download.

 

KF:  An interesting book available under a reasonably new "copyfarleft" licensing arrangement.  The book provides some useful insights into openness and peer/collaborative production strategies.  It brings to mind the Cachalot (http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/cachalot/id458866319?mt=8) book from Duke University where expertise is crowd-sourced, peer review is managed and distribution is open-source.  These new models of content creation and distribution are set to challenge the established (dis)order of publishing and distribution.  Thanks to Yves Simon for the suggestion.
