Extra: What potential challenges do you face by offering open textbooks?
Frank: … Part of us being open is to have openly licensed content to enable a faculty member to adopt our book for their class and to modify our book for it. It’s not a wiki-style model. We feel this takes into consideration that this is material that is being taught. … We have a vision that great authors … write a book from the beginning to end. We tell the professors that they can modify this for [their] own course to fit [into their] course better.
