Thanks Rory. We have Math instructors here at Langara who will be evaluating
the Lyryx textbooks for possible adoption.
Not sure how I feel about charging for supplementary materials such as
assessments - I guess it is one possible business model but the OpenStax
textbooks provide supplementary materials free of charge alongside the
textbook.
Cheers
Julian
