In preparation for our forthcoming Life Sciences collaboration weekend in Cape Town, we have created a diagrammatic representation of how we plan to create a free and open Life Sciences textbook! The textbook will be created through Life Sciences educators and post-grad students working together and combining teaching notes, additional resources and rich-media to cover the new CAPS curriculum for 2012. This will take place from Friday 14 – Sunday 16 October 2011. Please click on the image below to enlarge it.

We will be hosting three evening events for all that are interested and would like further information. These will be taking place on the following evenings, from 18h30 – 20h30, at our office in Cape Town:

Wednesday 21 September: http://siyavula-lifesci21sept.eventbrite.com/

Thursday 22 September: http://siyavula-lifesci22sept.eventbrite.com/
