Posted October 20, 2020 in JMU Libraries News, Open Education News

As you plan for spring semester, consider open textbooks and other affordable course content. With open textbooks, you have the flexibility to save, share, and revise the material to align with course learning outcomes. These online textbook collections offer students immediate, first-day-of-class access to their learning materials:

• VIVA Faculty Textbook Portal: shared library collections, open textbooks, and ebooks for purchase for course use.
• Open textbook collections: these textbooks are used by faculty across the country and licensed to be freely used, edited, and distributed.
