Are you curious about the potential of open textbooks to positively impact both curriculum design and student learning?

Join us for an opportunity to hear about recent initiatives that illuminate the growing movement toward use of open educational resources in higher education.  

Open Textbooks: Open Minds will showcase the findings of a recent University of Guelph study exploring the impact of cost and access to course materials on student success. In addition, University of Toronto instructors, librarians, staff and graduate students who have had first hand experience in the creation and adaptation of open textbooks will share their strategies and insights.
