Open access textbooks are textbooks and related materials that are openly licensed and freely available for anyone to use, reuse, and redistribute. They offer several benefits over traditional textbooks such as being available in digital format at low or no cost to students. Creative Commons licensing allows faculty and students to customize and remix open textbook content to better meet their needs. However, open textbooks still need to demonstrate their quality and ability to meet pedagogical standards. Advocates argue they could help reduce the financial burden on students from high textbook costs if adopted more widely.

Frances Pinter_The future of the academic monograph
This document discusses potential models for funding open access academic monographs in the social sciences and humanities. It proposes an international library consortium model where libraries collectively pay publishers a fee per monograph to cover the costs of producing a digital open access version. Key points:
- Current monograph funding models based on print sales are unsustainable as library budgets shrink.
- A consortium could aggregate demand and budgets from hundreds or thousands of libraries to pay publishers a set fee per monograph.
- This would significantly reduce costs for libraries compared to individual print copies, while still supporting publishers' services.
- Benefits include open access research, reduced costs, and leveraging existing funds rather than requiring new money

E-books for the Classroom & Open Access Textbooks: Two ways to help students ...
In order to help students withstand the rising cost of textbooks, and in turn support the mission of student success, the University of South Florida has implemented two electronic resource based initiatives as part of the Tampa Library’s Textbook Affordability Project.
Through the E-books for the Classroom program, the Library purchases electronic versions of texts required for coursework, providing equitable access to needed materials at no cost to the students. For the past five years, this program has evolved into a highly successful Textbook Affordability measure, acquiring hundreds of e-books and serving thousands of students, as well as becoming an integral part of the e-book acquisition process.
The Library, with the support of the Office of the Provost and in collaboration with other departments across the University, is publishing a faculty-authored multimedia Open Access Textbook to be used by hundreds of students each semester in USF’s children’s literature courses. The USF institutional repository, Scholar Commons, will host the textbook, making it freely available on a global scale. This program effectively uses library expertise and skills, coordinating university-wide faculty, professional, and technical resources, to create library-as-publisher for the benefit of the students and textbook affordability.
This presentation will include a review of the need for these types of Library based initiatives, the processes involved in establishing and maintaining them, and a discussion of their challenges and successes along with plans for future improvements.

Why Math Education Needs Puzzles
Martin Gardner advocated for including puzzles and recreational mathematics in classrooms to spark students' interest in learning math. However, teachers were resistant without meaningful contexts. The author argues algebra is taught without such contexts, confusing students. Puzzles can provide this meaningful exposure to math concepts, analogous to how picture books introduce literacy. The author plans resources like an online puzzle channel and competitions to promote puzzles in math education.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
