Hello EcoLoggers -- My college is looking into open educational resources (OER) as one strategy to reduce textbook costs. Do any of you have any experience adopting an open access textbook for introductory ecology / environmental science courses? For example, OpenStax <https://cnx.org/contents/[email protected]:BARv-3P2@3/Life-Histories-and-Natural-Sel> Biology from Rice University is one many sites point to, which contains a few chapters relevant to intro ecology courses, but may not be detailed enough to support an entire course. I welcome hearing any of your experiences with OER for ecology.
