RSSThe Future Of Textbooks Is Free … And It’s Now Available | Edudemic
This train is rolling down the tracks pretty fast, starting with Apple’s IBooks Author platform and extending into a maze of other sites like this one. THe vision, although coming form different places is clear: The internet has changed how we recieve educational information and the old model of paying for content is on the way out.—TBH
From the article:
Boundless just launched the public beta version of its brand new site. What is Boundless? It’s a way to easily turn all of the open source information that exists in the world into a simple easy-to-use digital textbook. And it’s free.
This is one of the most exciting announcements that came across my inbox over the past few weeks. Boundless is shaping up to truly disrupt the digital textbook industry and the newly launched tools are robust enough to do just that.
