Nominations are now open for the 2026 UCT Open Textbook Award. This award, now in its fifth year, has proved to be a crucial mechanism for supporting innovative open education activity that addresses challenges related to the cost and accessibility of teaching and learning materials, as well as curriculum change and multilingualism at the University of Cape Town (UCT).
