Hello Everyone,
Happy Friday! See below for new and updated open textbooks in our collection, news about our support resources, and information about the open peer reviews posted by open textbooks.
New books
Updated books
- Biology 2e, from OpenStax, has been added to our collection. The older edition will be archived on June 1, 2018.
Support resources
- The BCcampus Open Education Authoring Guide has been archived. This resource was replaced by the Self-Publishing Guide, added in February.
Reviews
- Starting March 18, 2018, the licence for published reviews changed from CC BY-ND to CC BY. (Older reviews still retain the CC BY-ND designation.) This was done to more easily share reviews with other collections. This information, along with a statement clarifying that the copyright for reviews is held by the reviewer, has been clarified on the Review an Open Textbook web page on our website.
- When open textbooks are replaced with new editions, PDFs of the reviews for the older edition are now compiled in a zip file and posted by the new version of the textbook. A README file is included in the zipped file explaining this arrangement and the reason for it.
Best regards,
The BCcampus Open Education team
