exact content needs of the course.

University of Minnesota pilot11 faculty adopted an open textbook1107 students saved an average of $131 (over $145,000 total)3 faculty edited a Statistics textbook (including adding a chapter) to better fit their students’ needs

Lunch DiscussionIdentify issues/barriers that would keep an instructor from adopting an open textbook.

1. Take 2 minutes for personal reflection on barriers.2. Share your reflections with your table.3. Designate one person to record and report your table’s

top 3 issues to the large group after lunch.

Barriers• Faculty may be unaware of the issues.• Faculty may not know what “open” is,

and that open textbooks may exist as an option.

• Faculty don’t know where to find open textbooks.

• Faculty don’t know if an open textbook is quality.
