A free online textbook for ENGL 1101 is result of a collaboration between English faculty and librarian Mary Ann Cullen. President Rob Watts challenged faculty to find a way to reduce costs for students. This free text is one answer to that challenge. Additionally, the USG has a program called Affordable Learning Georgia, which promotes open access resources for students. Perhaps best of all, our students appreciate the savings.
Several Dunwoody professors have adopted this text for use in the spring. You may get questions from students about it or be interesting in taking a look yourself. Students will have direct links to the text in iCollege. Here's a link for you to use: http://guides.gpc.edu/ld.php?content_id=14663081
