I am sorry I missed this forum. I like the thought about an open access textbook. When I watched the video about connexions, I got very interested in his ideas and formating. Too be able to have access to knowledge on all different levels, and in different ways is great. Being a special education teacher, having material easily accessible, that can be customized for each student would be super. This would help the special education realm tremendously. The way kids could succeed and progress on their education would be neverending. They could go at their pace, and learn things at an easier level.
