PreTeXt and Runestone are two fantastic initiatives geared toward making open education resources better quality, more accessible, and easier to manage. This is a fantastic development.
We're excited to announce our latest #NSFfunded project, part of @NSF's newest Technology, Innovation and Partnerships directorate, awarded to @UofSouthAlabama and @AIMathematics: An Open-Source Ecosystem for the Creation and Use of Accessible STEM Open Educational Resources. 🧵

Apparently Pearson isn’t making enough money gouging you for paper textbooks. Now they want to use NFTs on their eBooks so they can make money on secondary sales. Gross! theverge.com/2022/8/3/232903…
Thanks @doomquasar @BriannaWu and @film_girl I loved your segment on textbooks and NFTS on Rocket! We have a different take and want to make great interactive textbooks free for everyone. Check us out at runestone.academy
Looking for a great open source textbook about databases? We have two! Here is a post about our newest - blog.runestone.academy
New blog on the progress in the Runestone - PreTeXt partnership. blog.runestone.academy/2022/…
Runestone Interactive is now formally Runestone Academy Ltd - a non-profit 501(3)(3) entity. And a nice new logo too!
Database move is complete — finding some old bugs, thanks to our new constraints. Old systems using new database should be mostly functional! — Next steps: runestoneinteractive.org/202…
Big Changes Coming - and some downtime as well. runestoneinteractive.org/202… we will keep you up to date here as things progress.
#Hacktoberfest is almost here! Now would be a great time to contribute some code to RunestoneInteractive!
I want to thank the @digitalocean hub for good for recognizing Runestone Interactive and the generous grant of credits toward server costs!
Here is a thing I wrote. I hope this will help start a discussion that will lead to a positive outcome for all: runestoneinteractive.org/202…
Curious about Runestone Development? Here’s the roadmap - runestoneinteractive.org/202…
The Runestone Annual Report for 2020 is online here: runestoneinteractive.org/202… I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on it. Thanks!
Where does the name Runestone come from? My grandma used to take me to see this in Alexandria Minnesota every summer when I would visit: thefutoncritic.com/news/2020…. Now there is a series about it!
