 Hi Dave and Dave students and everyone who knows Dave. I wanted to talk to you really briefly about a project that I did related to an open textbook that my students and I created. It's called the open anthology of earlier American literature and we started the projects because we wanted to save money on textbook costs because we were paying like 90 bucks a pop for a collection of public domain early American literature which seemed ridiculous. But when we built this open textbook using public domain versions of the texts from this commercial anthology the students realized that the book was actually not working so well because it didn't have a lot of the stuff that most anthologies have like introductions, maps, glossaries, just all that stuff that helps ground students when they're reading literature that's unfamiliar. So my students started adding that stuff in during the semester that we first started using the book and they wrote introductions, they found public domain images, we layered a little app in the sidebar called hypothesis so students could talk to each other in the side of the of the textbook and basically this textbook just became this incredible living document which had not only the primary source materials but also all of these student voices talking to each other and engaging with the work and I think that's when I started realizing that the most exciting thing about working with open educational resources was not actually the cost savings which were hugely beneficial but it was the way that students could become makers of knowledge and transformers of knowledge and not just consumers of knowledge and we all had an amazing time with that textbook. The textbook has been forked many times and used by people all over the country at this point and now it's been adopted by the rebus community with a grant from Hewlett so a bunch of academics are building that book out even more using some of the original work that my students did so it's been a really amazing project. It's part of what I think of now is open pedagogy and my students and I work in these ways in all of my classes now where we're editing and revising learning materials as much as we're using them. So that's what I have for you Dave. Hope you have a great day and good to talk to you.
