The Florida Distance Learning Consortium invites you to join us at a one-day symposium on
institution and state level digital textbook initiatives. The goal is to provide attendees with an understanding
of the national trends, exposure to the prevailing models for both publisher digital
textbooks and open textbooks, and an opportunity to participate in a panel discussion of the various
issues surrounding the models. Faculty, policy makers, and experts from Florida and across
the country will describe their digital textbook programs, policies, results, and best practices. Two
panel discussion will provide you with an opportunity to share your comments and ask questions.
The first panel includes digital textbook providers and an open textbook provider, and the second
speakers from other state systems and institutions that have established digital textbook programs.
