But even better, the resource is set up automatically for Hypothes.is annotation, a fantastic way to add comments, questions, and more to specific phrases in the book.
Also, for someone (like me) relatively new to course markings, what is very valuable are the case studies from several institutions including a number of CCCOER / OEGlobal members.
