Google Sites OER Textbook Template: A Template Guide to Creating OER Textbooks
(View Complete Item Description)This resource was created at the University of Maryland (UMD) for instructors who want to develop open educational textbook resources. You may use this template and modify the text and format to fit your open educational resources (OER) needs, whether that is a complete textbook or a single chapter of information. The purpose of this resource is to provide a flexible and free resource for instructors that can promote and facilitate the creation and use of open educational resources. We teach open science and have used this template to create an OER introduction to statistics textbook (Numbers don't lie (but people do), https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/statisticsinsocialsciences/home), an OER R textbook (Learning R the EZ way, https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/ezlearning-r/home), and an undergraduate research dissemination textbook (Addressing Grand Challenges through open science research, https://sites.google.com/umd.edu/umd-open-science-research/home?authuser=0). We hope others will find this resource useful as well.
