Collection: High Enrollment

Featuring open books on a variety of subjects, this collection highlights introductory textbooks for high enrollment classes. All of these books can be adopted and remixed for any class, and because they are so foundational, many of these books already have several adaptations. We can’t wait to see this collection grow!

Open Textbooks for Big Student Populations

High enrollment classes are most often introductory and required prerequisites for degree completion. They can also be dual enrollment classes, with highschool seniors participating. When a faculty member contributes their time and expertise to a high enrollment open textbook, they’re helping a massive number of students. With the power of open licenses, those contributions multiply with every adaptation. We think that’s worth celebrating.
