- 14. Open Textbook Library Review Criteria For each category, assign 1-5 stars (with 5 being best) and provide written details. There’s also space at the end for general comments: Comprehensiveness The text covers all areas and ideas of the subject appropriately and provides an effective index and/or glossary. Content Accuracy Content is accurate, error-free, and unbiased. Relevance/Longevity Content is up-to-date, but not in a way that will quickly make the text obsolete within a short period of time. The text is written and/or arranged in such a way that necessary updates will be relatively easy and straightforward to implement. Clarity The text is written in lucid, accessible prose, and provides adequate context for any jargon/technical terminology used. Consistency The text is internally consistent in terms of terminology and framework.
- 15. Open Textbook Library Review Criteria (continued) Modularity The text is easily and readily divisible into smaller reading sections that can be assigned at different points within the course (i.e., enormous blocks of text without subheadings should be avoided). Organization/Structure/Flow The topics in the text are presented in a logical, clear fashion. Interface The text is free of significant interface issues, including navigation problems, distortion of images/charts, and any other display features that may distract or confuse the reader. Grammatical Errors The text contains no grammatical errors. Cultural Relevance The text is not culturally insensitive or offensive in any way. It should make use of examples that are inclusive of a variety of races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. From http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ReviewRubric.aspx. This rubric was developed by BCcampus.
