Session Type: Breakout Session

We will discuss a university-wide initiative intending to enhance the undergraduate and graduate teaching and learning experience through the use of faculty-developed electronic textbooks. By replacing traditional, third-party textbooks, these e-textbooks save students financial resources and provide additional types of content, interactivity, learning experiences, and assessments.

Outcomes: Identify important steps in developing and implementing a university-wide e-textbook initiative * Identify essential technical skills that faculty need to learn to develop your own e-textbooks * Understand how e-textbooks can have a positive financial impact while enhancing student learning experiences
