As reported in Inside Higher Ed, OpenStax, the free textbook publisher based at Rice University, is expanding beyond books.
The publisher on Monday launched Tutor Beta, an online learning platform. Initially available in three courses -- biology, physics and sociology -- this fall, OpenStax plans to expand it across all the subject areas in which it publishes content.
OpenStax has established itself as one of the leading publishers of open educational resources. The publisher’s portfolio includes 35 titles across nearly a dozen high school- and college-level subject areas, according to its website, and about two million students have used the books in its courses. OpenStax estimates it has saved students more than $155 million since 2012, compared to if those students had purchased commercial textbooks.
