   Anyone used https://openstax.org (edit) for publishing knowledge or education material?

     @impactology @PropCazhPM

     Apologies.

     Openstax seems to be a platform for sharing any educational materials like books, lessons, etc as opposed to Massive Open Online Courses which is philosophically classroom based I.e. material formatted in incremental lessons.

     Openstax seems to be legit open platform (presumption =100%) and I’d like to double check that presumption with community here.

     Hope that clarifies my request?

     Edit: reread 1st toot and realized link was missing 🤦🏾♀️.

     @dahukanna @PropCazhPM Yes long back I had used openstax to get an outline of sociological concepts from their sociology textbook, pretty good

     @dahukanna I use openstax textbooks for the courses I teach (calculus and college algebra). They're great!

     2/2
     "Software alchemist" is not a job title, more descriptive/expressive of what I "seem" to be able to do , with creating digital experiences using software as my "material or medium (edit)" and a play on words -
     Alchemist: a person who transforms or creates something through a "seemingly magical process".

     1/2.
     Starting post related to https://mastodon.social/@dahukanna/111670004660887417.
     So started with:
     1. Curating content
     2. Selecting topics
     3. Stating learning objectives. challenge 1. The reason why I want to learn somethings varies & is usually intrinsically motivated.
     4. Splitting topic content into chunks. Second main challenge - I prefer active working through exercises to being talked at (lectured), read a wall of text or watching a linear video. (Edit typos)

     @dahukanna @impactology @PropCazhPM Why yes, the text for my daughter’s college chemistry class was one of these.
