Textbooks are a multi-billion dollar industry -- an estimated $3.5 billion for the K-12 market alone (1) . But the growing availability of digital content and open educational resources (OER) is giving schools the opportunity to bypass some of the traditional expenses of textbook purchasing. It's also giving teachers the opportunities to build their own textbooks.
