“I was looking for some projects to work on over the summer and was interested in updating our textbook for the general education math class,” Blanchard said. “I decided to give it a try after the library director, Sarah Beiting, told us about it in a faculty meeting.” Blanchard is creating a digital collection of free resources and study materials in the form of a textbook to make available for students. The grant will be used to compensate for the time and effort it takes to create the online version of the textbook. The soon-to-be-completed project will streamline the curriculum of the class while decreasing course expenses for students since they will not be required to purchase resources for the class.
