Are you passionate about open access and making education more affordable for your students? Would you like to publish an open textbook for your unit of study?
We are looking for expressions of interest from academics to participate in a pilot project that aims to publish an open textbook to support any discipline taught at the University of Sydney at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
How to get involved?
If you are interested in publishing an open textbook for your course, please submit a one-page proposal by 1 December 2017. We are particularly interested in proposals for original and previously unpublished projects with multidisciplinary appeal that would lend themselves to digital delivery and contain multimedia content.
Your submission should include the following:
- Your contact details
- Textbook title
- Unit of study name and student enrolment numbers
- Description of contents, including any multimedia
- Table of contents with brief chapter descriptions
- Estimated length of manuscript and delivery timeline.
To submit a proposal, and if you would like more information or have any further questions, please contact Agata Mrva-Montoya, Publishing Manager, Sydney University Press on 02 9114 1456 or agata.mrva-montoya@sydney.edu.au
