Open textbooks

Open textbooks are educational resources that are freely available online for students and educators. They are created and shared under licenses that allow anyone to read, use, modify, and distribute them without cost. This openness helps reduce the expense of traditional textbooks, making education more accessible. Open textbooks cover a wide range of subjects and are often collaboratively developed by educators and experts to ensure quality. They promote flexibility in teaching and learning, allowing customization to suit specific needs, and support equitable access to educational materials globally.
