Join the BC Open Textbook community to review, adapt or create an Open Textbook

Posted on May 21st, 2014

As part of their BC Open Textbook Program, BCcampus is actively looking for instructors to review newly identified textbooks either in the original 40 highest-enrolled subject areas or in the targeted trades. All of their peer-reviewed open textbooks are rated against a review rubric to ensure consistency and quality. The rubric includes criteria for comprehensiveness, content accuracy, interface, relevance, clarity, grammar, consistency and organizational structure. Selected reviewers are paid an honorarium and additional funding is available for faculty and instructors who wish to adapt a textbook for their own use or create a new one. The BCcampus Open Textbook Program community already includes more than 38 instructors and professors from post-secondary institutions around the province who have reviewed existing open textbooks.
