Planting a Seed and Watching It Grow: Planning an Open Textbook from Scratch
Author(s): Katie V. Kirakosian
Year: 2018
Summary
This paper outlines how this open textbook moved from an idea to a reality over the past year. As a non-traditional project in archaeology, the infrastructure for such a project had to largely be framed from scratch, including a social media and marketing campaign as well as a process for co-authoring and reviewing chapters. Although the textbook is not yet completed, lessons learned along the way will be offered with the hope that sharing our model will inspire more open textbooks in our field.
