From Concept to First edition Jane Gair and Charles Molnar took 4 months to produce a suitable non-majors text edition with ancillary resources based on the OpenStax Concepts of Biology textbook.
This presentation will provide the details and lessons learned on how to adapt, remix, and create the Concepts of Biology-1st Canadian Edition Open Textbook. The presentation will describe the process of adaptation from a faculty perspective, as well as the process involved in receiving student feedback on the Open Textbook and how that feedback then resulted in a further adaptation and iteration of the textbook.
