I presented at the 2006 NCECA Conference in Portland, OR with Assistant Professor of Art Lisa Cecere, Ocean County College, New Jersey. We did a break out session on creating your own text books by compiling sections of existing textbooks with individually designed sections created by the teacher. The concept was to create a specialized text book that meets the unique needs of the specfic students in the class and also meets the specific needs of the professor herself. The session went well.
