Hi, all.
There is a UFV math faculty member very interested in completing an open textbook on
calculus he started a couple of years ago. We've had a few conversations in the past,
but he has had time constraints, as well as some uncertainties around recombining open
licensed content that I haven't quite been able to alleviate yet. He also has a
different pedagogical approach in mind, and one that he apparently cannot easily work into
the existing BC Campus calculus texts. The details escape me, but it made a lot of sense
to me as someone who never responded well to traditional approaches of teaching math.
So quite some time after starting and outlining from scratch, he has realised it will be
more efficient to complete by incorporating existing content. And I now get the impression
he is looking for some collaboration opportunities with others who have specifically
worked with open math content.
Do any of you know of anyone actively using and revising math content?
Many thanks.
-Martin
