Description
In this lightning talk, I share my experience writing and teaching with my own OER textbook. I was hired by University of North Georgia Press to co-author an American literature OER textbook titled Writing the Nation for the University System of Georgia’s English 2132 eCore class. Since its publication in 2015 (under a CC BY-SA license), the digital version of Writing the Nation has been downloaded over 50,000 times from the UNG press website and has been republished (by a different press) as an affordable Kindle eBook. In the first half of this talk, I describe my experience with the OER textbook composition process. In the second half, I discuss the opportunities I have found and the challenges I have faced in using my own OER textbook in my classes.
