Dr. Krzic is a co-editor of an open access E-textbook under development for Introduction to Soil Science, a course taken by 300 students annually at UBC alone. Currently textbooks written for the USA are commonly used. Maja and her co-editor are leading a team of 36 authors from across Canada in writing chapters. In addition to funding from the Canadian Society of Soil Science, Dr. Krzic secured funding from BCcampus. Currently there is no Canadian-based textbook that provides an introduction to soil science; and this initiative is an OER available to instructors or students without cost, and with an open license allowing for reuse, revision, and redistribution.
