Abstract
This session will explain how the instructional designers at the University of Northwestern-St. Paul have supported a growing open textbook movement. UNWSP is part of the Open Textbook Network and has one of the only “Z-Degrees” in Minnesota. We will discuss our strategies for promoting open textbooks in our projects, the types of support that we have supplied and received, our methods for managing adoption and integration of open texts into our LMS and curriculum, and the obstacles that we have faced.
