Runestone Interactive: Online, Open Source Interactive Textbooks
Runestone Interactive is an ongoing research and education project co-founded by two Luther College computer science professors. This project does at least three things:
- Provides great online interactive textbooks for free
- Provides open source authoring tools for creating and hosting quality interactive learning resources
- Hosts custom versions of textbooks for colleges, universities, and high schools around the world
Started in 2011, the first versions of Runestone textbooks went public in June 2012. Usage has since grown to over 16,000 students a day attending over 500 institutions around the world.
