Meet the sponsors – UK Open Textbooks

We are delighted to announce our first sponsor for OER19 – UK Open Textbooks

UK Open Textbooks

Open Textbooks are a form of OER that has seen significant impact and success in the US and Canada. The UK OpenTextbooks project was funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation with two main aims: firstly to promote the adoption of open textbooks in the UK, and secondly to investigate the transferability of the successful models of adoption to the UK.

The UK open textbooks project are proud to sponsor OER19 and distribute a report on the findings of the project. The report details the approaches for adoption, and the differences in context. The project successfully raised awareness of open textbooks over a one year period and found a higher and further education environment that was ready for further development in this area.
