Abstract
In this presentation, team members from the Digital Open Textbook for Development (DOT4D) project at UCT share insights into the emerging models of open textbook production employed by lecturers in the DOT4D grants programme at UCT and describe the journeys these authors have embarked on in collaboration with students, academics and practitioners in their various fields. The discussion on publishing models addresses the partnerships for publishing required in the new open textbook production landscape in which academics and institutions take on the role of publisher in order to drive institutional transformation and alleviate injustices inherent in the South African higher education system.
