B.C. government to make some textbooks available for free online

See on Scoop.it - Education Futures

The BC government wants to make a bunch of online textbooks available for free to university students, but they still have a fair bit of homework to do.

The B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education plans to commission textbook authors or developers to put together online textbooks for popular undergraduate courses. As a condition of funding, they’ll be available through a Creative Commons licence that makes them free for anyone to use, reuse and revise. A nonprofit called BCcampus, acting as an agent of the government, will store the textbooks online.
