The JCU Open Education Initiative

The JCU Open Education Initiative is a project in the Education Division, spearheaded by JCU Library. The aim of the project is two-fold: 

  • To support lecturers in adopting, adapting and creating Open Educational Resources including textbooks and workbooks in order to better support the learning of our students at JCU 
  • To make information about the people and places of the Tropics more widely accessible and understood. More than 40% of the world's population live in the Tropics and 40% of the world's surface is within the Tropics, but the area is often under represented in teaching materials.
