Open Textbook
Adoption Fair
Come for the puppies; stay for the pedagogy and the savings!
In the spirit of open, we adapted the well-known quip surrounding
open textbooks from an unknown source,
Come for the savings; stay for the pedagogy!.
 We have turned the tables a bit. Instead of being adopted by our
furry friends, our furry friends are showcasing their choices for
adoption.
 We have matched the furry friends of our eCampusOntario friends
with high-quality, open textbooks.
 The open textbooks are ready and waiting for adoption!
 Adopt the open textbooks as is or adapt to customize for your
course.
 If you do end up giving one of our friends a home, please let us
know by reporting your adoption | adaptation:
