OpenStax Textbooks

OpenStax creates and manages a specific set of free instructor resources for each OpenStax title. These resources were developed with text-specific grant funding at the time of publication, so offerings can vary book-to-book. To see which resources have been created for your book, follow these steps: 

1. Go to https://openstax.org/subjects

2. Click on the cover of your book

3. Click on the "Instructor Resources" tab



4. On the Instructor resources page, all the materials created for your book are listed. 

To view and download these materials, instructors will need to create a free instructor account on openstax.org. Their team verifies instructor status before providing access to protect the integrity of the materials used in graded assessments. You can learn how to create an instructor account and request access in this help article: openstax.secure.force.com/help/articles/faq/Requesting-Instructor-only-access-to-the-resources-on-openstax-org.

Once you have been verified, log in to openstax.org to access the instructor resources for any OpenStax book.
