Adopt a Textbook

Course adoption of open textbooks is an important priority of the Milne Open Textbooks project. For most teaching faculty, there are four key considerations which go into the adoption of a particular text for their course:

• Academic quality: is this the best text available for the course I need to teach?
• Affordability: is the material free or of low-cost?
• Discoverability: How do I find course materials that are high-quality, but low-cost?
• Time: many faculty indicate that time to select, review and choose appropriate materials is a barrier to adoption

There are several open textbook initiatives that provide free, high-quality open textbooks for use in courses.  For a list of textbook alternatives, visit Florida’s Open Access Textbooks Project resources page.
