“By replacing a static textbook — or other stable learning material — with one that is openly licensed, faculty have the opportunity to create a new relationship between learners and the information they access in the course. Instead of thinking of knowledge as something students need to download into their brains, we start thinking of knowledge as something continuously created and revised.” (Robin DeRosa and Scott Robinsonfrom the Theme page of the 2018-19 Innovative Teaching Showcase.)
