If you are an academic who has been wanting to write a textbook, this is your chance to not only get support, training and documentation to help you get published, but you can also win one of 25 $1000 grants available nationally to help with associated costs. If you don\u2019t have time to write a whole textbook in one go, you can start with just a chapter or two and then build on it later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why open textbooks? In recent years, the university sector have become increasingly aware of the unsustainability of the traditional textbook. The price of textbooks has skyrocketed, putting significant financial pressure on students who are already financially insecure. Open Educational Resources (OERs) are educational resources which are accessible to all at no cost. They are free for students, relieving them of significant financial burden, and can be accessed anywhere at any time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For teachers, OERs are much more flexible than traditionally published materials, as they can be edited, re-used and mashed up to suit individual topic learning outcomes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is why Flinders University Library is committed to promoting the use of OERs wherever possible.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Council of Australian University Librarians Open Educational Resources Collective provides a shared open textbook publishing platform (<a href=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pressbooks<\/a>) for participating university libraries in Australia and New Zealand.
