This aim of this project, funded by eCampus Ontario, is development of a resource guide to getting started in Open eText Publishing. Project objectives include:
- Assess the needs of the community in the domain of open text publishing
- Develop a set of flexible, browsable support resources
- Evaluate the potential for an ongoing community of practice in open text publishing
The Open eText Start Up Resource Guide will be designed for sharing via the eCampus Ontario portal and other existing provincial organizations.

In addition to conducting a needs survey and beginning an environmental scan, the project team has begun facilitating a series of monthly webinars that provide an opportunity for sharing among institutions currently implementing eCampus Ontario OCI funded Open eText projects.
