Adaptation<\/h2>\nThe term \"adaptation\" is commonly used to describe the process of making changes to an existing work. Though we can also replace \"adapt\" with revise, modify, alter, customize, or other synonym that describes the act of making a change. The example below refers to adapting an open textbook but any OER (assignments, videos, lecture notes, diagrams, etc) can be adapted.\n\nIn addition to cost savings to students, one of the biggest advantages of choosing an open textbook is it gives faculty the legal right to add to, adapt, or delete the content of the textbook to fit their specific course without obtaining permission from the copyright holder. This is possible because the copyright holder has already granted permission by releasing their work using an open \u2014 or Creative Commons \u2014 licence. This type of licence gives users permission to use and reuse, share, copy, retain and modify the textbook without consulting the author.\n\nBelow are some examples of how an open textbook can be adapted by adding in your own Learning Objectives, Exercises, and Key Takeaways.\n
