In the first year since Robin Ashford (E-Learning Librarian) and Gloria Doherty (Hybrid-Learning and Education Technology Director) launched the Open Textbook Initiative at Fox, faculty members saved George Fox students a total of over $118,000 in the 2016-2017 academic year. Kudos!
Supported by the university’s Innovation Fund, the initiative:
Visit these slides to learn why open textbooks and textbook affordability matters at George Fox, along with detailed results of the initiative.
The initiative will be funded for a second year. Contact Robin (rashford@georgefox.edu) to get involved or learn more.
Each participating faculty member wrote a review of one of these textbooks; some went on to adopt them for their courses.
Thanks to all faculty for your good work!
Helping with textbook affordability is a George Fox Library goal. George Fox librarians look forward to working with faculty colleagues to provide high quality educational resources to students while saving them money.
