Creating an Open Access Textbook with Dr. Paul Chafe and Aaron Tucker

After two years in the making, Paul Chafe and Aaron Tucker launched a team-built open access textbook this fall called "Write Here, Right Now: An Interactive Introduction to Academic Writing and Research." The interactive book serves an introductory writing course that seats over 1,000 students each year - and you can use it, too. In this episode, Chafe and Tucker explain why they opted to build a single, multimedia tool and how it became imperative to their team-based pedagogy. You can access the book through eCampus Ontario here: https://www.ecampusontario.ca/open_funding/write-right-now-interactive-introduction-academic-writing-research/ A transcript of this episode is available here: shorturl.at/ansCX
