I like how the theories are explained in more understandable ways compared to other textbooks where the author tends to talk in circles before explaining what is being talked about
I would not have bought the text book for this course because it's an elec0ve. I would have possibly walked away with a C, now I might actually get an A-‐
It is easily accessible and convenient. Material is easy to understand and follow
I personally really like the convenience of having the complete set of chapters on my computer and even accessible from my phone if I need it. I like that I don't have to lug around another text book
It's free and it's a great money saver

Academics aim for educational history in Chilliwack
By Chilliwack TimesPublished: July 23, 2014 02:00 PMUpdated: July 23, 2014 02:362 PM
Tucked in a corner of the Cheam Mountain Golf Course clubhouse, twenty academics pored over textbooks and tappedaway on laptops Saturday in an effort to make educational history.
The participants, who all have doctorates in psychology, gathered from around British Columbia to create a body ofhigh-quality test questions for the Open Textbook Project.
“These are freely licensed textbooks that are available for faculty to use and to replace publisher’s content—which canoften cost $250 for a textbook for a course,” said Clint LaLonde. “We’re trying to lower the cost of education forstudents.”
LaLonde is the manager of open education at BCcampus, a publicly-funded organization committed to developing andpromoting more transparent and accessible education resources.
After two days of collaboration, the group wrote 851 questions covering 15 different subject areas for the first-yearpsychology test bank. The event was dubbed a “sprint” because of the speed with which such a large amount ofmaterial was created.
LaLonde said their work will be shared with an open textbook project in the U.S. called NOBA project, distributing thebenefits around North America.
