Description
When the Department of History wanted a low/no-cost text for a required course for our majors, we turned to the idea of developing an OER. The initial plan was perhaps too ambitious and stalled until a single author with a smaller vision took over the project. This presentation considers the advantages and pitfalls of multiple-authored OER text for departmental use, with clear advice on what to do, and what not to do.
