Abstract
Open textbook initiatives have been successful in the United States and Canada as a means to save money for students. At the University of Cape Town (UCT), the Digital Open Textbooks for Development (DOT4D) project, which began in July 2018, has also looked at cost savings. However, the impetus for this project is premised on the potential for open textbooks to transform curriculum, a current imperative in the South African higher education system. This presentation, delivered at the OE Global 2019 Conference, outlines the application of the DOT4D project social justice, social realist and intersectional approach.
