“College
Open Textbooks has peer-reviewed more than 100 open textbooks for use in
community college courses and identified more than 550. College Open Textbooks
has already peer-reviewed several new open textbooks for use in community
college courses and identified more than 250 others for consideration. Open
textbooks are freely available for use without restriction and can be
downloaded or printed from web sites and repositories.
The formation of the College Open Textbooks
coincides with the growing international interest in open educational resources
and the need to move to open digital textbooks as a way to help financially
distressed states such as California reduce the cost of public education.
You can browse open textbooks by subject.
The Community College Open Textbooks
Collaborative is funded by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and
supported by many other members,
including the California Community College’s Chancellor’s Office. The focus of
these efforts could save students millions of dollars by increasing the number
of open high-quality textbooks available online as alternatives to expensive
printed textbooks sold by publishers.”
