Several weeks ago, I wrote a blog about Open-Source learning, primarily focusing on its nuts and bolts, as described by Dr. Baraniuk’s talk given at a TED conference.

As mentioned at the end of that blog, the EDC will be starting a series of posts highlighting various Open-Source textbook sites and services. That said, here is the first “installment,” as it were:

OpenTextbook.org is a great site that not only hosts a variety of material, found in over twenty different categories, but also serves as an information center for the goings-on of the Open Source text world. This site does not require registration of any kind, simply click on the topic of your choice and see what there is to see! Boasting regular updates and a slick interface, OpenTextbook.org is a great place to begin ones search for open source material.
