The Open Textbook Network is an alliance of higher education institutions, systems, and consortia working to more fully realize their potential by engaging in the open education ecosystem. The network will expand its community-building efforts around best practices, infrastructure, and common-good resources through engagement with members and collaborative partners. These efforts can reduce the cost of college and advance learning in postsecondary courses by ensuring that the development and implementation of OER, including open textbooks, are supported within and across institutions.
