 * Happening Stuff !** This is a bit of a WOW factor section! I really don't know where to put this. I was reading Katie Day's shared items on my RSS and came across Flexr - workbench CK-12 from Dan Coleman's Open Culture which has a treasure of an article about a New open source textbook for physics. Check it out! A little revolution is getting underway. The state of Virginia //has published a new open source physics textbook// under a Creative Commons license. //As detailed in this piece from ZDNet//, this peer-reviewed textbook was produced in less than six months by a team of authors, which included “active researchers, high school teachers, and college professors, as well as some retirees.” And it was launched on //CK-12’s technology platform// . Here comes the new world of textbook publishing. Quick to press, vetted, easy to revise, produced at a low cost by publishers, free for students. What’s not to like … except if you’re in the traditional textbook publishing business? As a quick aside, you can find another free physics textbook (in e-book format) at //motionmountain.net// . Just a quick glance at the Open Culture postings, and I think Diploma ´TL's would be impressed!
