StrongSchools: Presentation at TCC 2023
The document summarizes an open textbook project conducted with 22 graduate students in education at the Asian University for Women (AUW) during the fall 2022 semester. The students, predominantly from Afghanistan, collaborated in groups to write chapters for the open textbook on various education topics using open pedagogy and open educational practices. They utilized various technologies for research, writing, peer review, and publishing their work, including Pressbooks for the e-book, Zotero for literature reviews, Hypothesis for peer review, Anchor.FM for podcasts, and Genially for infographics. The project provided opportunities for students to develop skills in collaboration, writing, research, and using educational technologies, though they also faced challenges with workload distribution
