The BC Open Textbook Project has overseen 10 major open textbook adaptations. Currently, the project is educating the province's post-secondary faculty and staff on how to carry on this work through webinars, helpdesk support, and self-serve guides and resources. This session will describe and, through small group work and discussion, produce a list of solutions to some of the challenges encountered by individuals adapting openly licensed works. The results generated during this workshop will be immediately shared back with the Commons via the "BC Open Textbook Adaptation Guide", an open creation.
