245 – Open GCSE Textbooks with PreTeXt

About this episode

Santiago and David discuss the development of open GCSE and iGCSE textbooks using tools like PreTeXt and STACK.

Santiago and David explore the gap in open GCSE and iGCSE textbooks, and the opportunity to build curriculum-aligned resources from existing open content. They discuss how tools like PreTeXt can enable “same content, different variants” across exam boards, with interactive technologies like STACK adding further value, and reflect on how current work is putting the structures in place for scalable, adaptable textbooks.
