Submission + - University of Minnesota Launches Review Project for Open Textbooks
Durinia writes: Minnesota Public Radio is running a story today about the University of Minnesota's Open Textbooks project. The goal of the project is to solicit reviews of college-level open source textbooks and collect those that pass muster onto their website.
The project will focus first on high-volume introductory classes such as those for Math and Biology, because as David Ernst, director of the project, states in the interview:
"You know the world doesn't need another $150 Algebra One book. Algebra One hasn't changed for centuries, probably."
