Office Hours: International Perspectives on Open Textbooks

In this special pre-recorded session of Office Hours from Rebus Community and the Open Textbook Network, guests discussed student, faculty, and staff perspectives on the creation, adoption, and awareness of open textbooks and open educational resources in their countries. Guest speakers include Mark Horner (Siyavula Education in Cape Town, South Africa ); Werner Westermann Juárez (Library of National Congress in Chile); Jessica Stevens (Queensland University of Technology and Creative Commons Australia); Tomohiro Nagashima (Carnegie Mellon University); and Thomas Hervé Mboa Nkoudou (Association pour la Promotion de la Science Ouverte en Haïti et en Afrique and Université Laval). You can participate in an asynchronous discussion related to the recording, and pose questions to the speakers, throughout the week of March 4-9 in the Rebus Community Forum. We hope to foster a conversation with guests from many continents in varying time zones and languages. Please feel free to use the language of your choice. We will use Google translate to facilitate an international conversation.
