Living open textbook development model

A model for iteratively developing open textbooks powered by a continuous cycle of project dissemination, feedback, and adaptive publication. This leads to community-powered OER development through cross-institutional collaboration. It is particularly appropriate for tackling larger problems at scale.

In this case, that problem is how to transform legal education by mainstreaming climate change considerations. It is being addressed by the Climate Conscious Lawyers OER project.

This model is used to continuously develop the core text associated with this project, Becoming a Climate Conscious Lawyer: Climate and the Australian Legal System published by the La Trobe eBureau (2024).
