Many educators have searched for course materials only to find they don’t exist. The next question is often, could I write the textbook? The answer is yes and this session will show you how. This presentation shares practical strategies for starting and managing a large-scale OER textbook. Participants will explore common barriers, tips for planning and organizing content, and strategies to sustain momentum. Attendees will also consider potential collaborators and stakeholders who can support the process. Recognizing that no two textbooks are the same, the presenters will encourage participants to share their own insights and ideas to enrich the discussion. At the end of the presentation, everyone will leave with a personalized blueprint to guide their next OER textbook project.
