This week a text alert thwarts a blackout in California, Openstax makes textbooks free, On-demand microtransit is the future, JoeBlogs about sports, and Seinfeldia!
I love to read that OpenStax is working to make textbooks free! This was something that was a huge setback for me in post-secondary education and sometimes I had to choose between buying a textbook and not being able to get to school for a month. This makes learning so much more accessible and I'm so pleased to see this starting to happen more and more!
Hey Kerry! You're so right, I remember having to make tough financial decisions about books too. I recall there being some "optional" books for certain classes, they were usually the first ones to skip. Openstax is doing some great work to make things more accessible for all. Thanks for reading!
