3. Statistics Open Textbook
Collaborative Statistics
by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean
Long-term effort by authors to make their statistics textbook more affordable
Available at Connexions
Initial Outcomes
An open textbook collaboration between CCCOER and Connexions ( Collaborative Statistics, is now freely available online on the Connexions website ( Collaborative Statistics is also available at low cost in a print (bound) version, shipped from print-on-demand vendor (and Connexions partner) QOOP Inc. ( De Anza College professor, Illowsky and recently retired De Anza College mathematics professor, Dean were motivated to make their Collaborative Statistics textbook available via an open license in Connexions in order to lower textbook costs for students, and provide more instructional options for teachers.
Already, nearly a dozen instructors at community college campuses in California have selected the Collaborative Statistics textbook for their statistics courses this fall. The anticipated enrollment in these courses is more than 700 students.
Additional university faculty in New Mexico and New York plan to customize and/or adopt the textbook for Spring 2009 courses. Also, several faculty have already volunteered to contribute additional content for the Collaborative Statistics textbook (e.g., Minitab instructions and homework problem sets); the latter will be edited for inclusion by the Collaborative Statistics textbook authors, Illowsky and Dean.
An open statistics course developed by Illowsky and Dean, freely available from Sofia ( is closely aligned with the Collaborative Statistics textbook. The open statistics course at Sofia includes lesson plans, videotaped lectures, suggested homework, quizzes, and exams. 3
