Join us for the 3/4 TAA Webinar, ‘How Textbook Authors Can Prosper With Open Content’
Join us Wednesday, March 4 from 3-4 p.m. ET for the one-hour TAA webinar, “How Textbook Authors Can Prosper With Open Content
”, presented by Brian Jacobs, Founder of panOpen. Register
This presentation introduces a new model for textbook and academic authors to work with open content. Authors have mostly viewed the movement for open content with understandable skepticism and concern, as there are few controls over the shaping of content and usually no financial compensation for its use. In this webinar, we explore another way of thinking about open content, one in which authors maintain control over materials attributed to them and for which they are financially compensated. In this model, it is possible to preserve at once the flexibility and the collaborative potential of open content and authorial attribution and recognition. Such a model can improve content quality and curriculum appropriateness, substantially reduce costs to students, while providing financial sustainability for all of the key stakeholders. Join us in this webinar to learn more about this new approach and ways in which you could get involved.
Open to TAA members and non-members. Register today
