Yes, SO MUCH BETTER. Thanks :)
Are there any open source textbooks being published right now? From whom are they going to be purchased?
I agree that if a textbook is open source, it doesn't mean it doesn't need to pass through the same quality control that proprietary textbooks have to. (Although it would be nice if some preference towards open source, if all other factors were equal enough, were instituted with the bill.)
But practically, what does that mean for a teacher? E.g., if a teacher wants to provide copies of the Digital Foundations course material for a class, are they not allowed because it hasn't been blessed by the SBOE?
