Free textbooks for students aren’t a compromise for educators. Each ancillary in our library of resources is complete and ready to use. Like our textbooks, our instructor resources are also openly licensed, allowing you to adapt them to fit yours and your needs and your student’s.
An OpenStax instructor account is a free account that grants verified educators access to resources beyond the textbook.
You can create an instructor account if you teach at a primary, secondary, or post-secondary institution. All you need is a school-issued email address. You may also need a school-issued document. Homeschool educators can also create an account but may need to provide additional information.
We’ve created an array of instructor resources to support your teaching. The resources available will vary by book but you can expect to find the following
