4512 "teachers and students needed an easy way to use electronics and programming "

4516 "Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, built a platform that combined different "
4517 "open technologies. They called it Arduino. The platform integrated software, "

6805 "innovation in the publishing industry for nearly forty years. She founded "
6806 "the UK-based Knowledge Unlatched with a mission to enable open access to "

6808 "is not working for anyone, and especially not for monographs in the "

6810 "this and has been working with libraries to create a sustainable alternative "
6811 "model for publishing scholarly books, sharing the cost of making monographs "
6812 "(released under a Creative Commons license) and savings costs over the long "
6813 "term. Since its launch, Knowledge Unlatched has received several awards, "
6814 "including the IFLA/Brill Open Access award in 2014 and a Curtin University "

6841 "the launch, Frances convinced Bloomsbury to differentiate themselves by "
6842 "putting out monographs for free online under a Creative Commons license (BY-"
6843 "NC or BY-NC-ND, i.e., Attribution-NonCommercial or Attribution-NonCommercial-"
6844 "NoDerivs). This was seen as risky, as the biggest cost for publishers is "

6846 "online book for free, there would be no print-book sales at all, and the "
6847 "costs associated with getting the book to print would be lost. "

7941 "The Noun Project first adopted a model whereby using an icon without giving "

7943 "subscription component, where there would be a monthly fee to access a "
7944 "certain number of icons—ten, fifty, a hundred, or five hundred. However, "
7945 "users didn’t like these hard-count options. They preferred to try out many "

7962 "flexibility. Knowing that most API applications would want to use the icons "

9222 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9223 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9224 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9225 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "

9235 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9236 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9237 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "

9239 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9240 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9241 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9242 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9243 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9244 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "

10715 "communities of practice—that is, with fellow educators and writers. Although "
10716 "sharing is fundamental to teaching, there can be a few challenges when you "
