Computer Science Open Textbooks display table
 Wiki Here
Speaker: Jacky Hood   
Level: Advanced   |   Room: Unknown   |   Agenda Not Made Yet
Dozens of instructor-modifiable open textbooks are available in Computer Science, Engineering, and most other academic disciplines. This display table staffed by the Community College Open Textbook Collaborative will provide information for instructors on how to locate, adopt and use an open textbook. Open textbooks are typically available as bound copies, offline computer files, online, and on many mobile devices. The students have many options at much lower cost than traditional textbooks. We would like the table to be situated near the registration area. Later we may move it near the food. The table will be staffed at least 4 hours during the conference. Signs and andouts may be available at other times.
