Material Detail

Realizing the great potential in Open Educational Resources (OER), Lyryx aims at a sustainable business model and begins to engage authors of OER textbooks directly to create products and services under the new "Lyryx with Open Texts" brand name. While the textbook is provided to students at no cost, a fair license fee is charged for the use of the online assessment in exchange for user support, editorial services to adapt the content, and all other needed supplementary material. Print-on-demand copies are also available as a low cost option.

Instead of the traditional model of paying “royalties” to authors, a share of revenues from licensing is returned to authors in exchange for adapting their content to the needs of individual schools and creating the supplementary materials.
