尊敬的會員：

免費英文開放教科書

「開放教科書」為免費的教學材料，版權開放，容許教學人員因應教學需要編改內容，學校和學生都可免費下載使用，歐美多地已有不少「開放教科書」成功普及的例子。

香港公開大學在2012年開展「香港開放教科書計劃」，工作重點之一是編製中、小學英文科開放教科書。經過三年努力，整套十二本Open English，適用於中小學各級的英文課本已告齊備，並已通過教育局審批，列入學校適用書目表內。該套課本兼備電子和印刷版，電子版免費下載，印刷版只需以低廉的費用列印或選購，方便您幫助子女温習及自學英語。

Dear Members,

Free Open English Textbooks

Open textbooks are education resources licensed under Creative Commons licences which allow teachers to adapt their content to fit their teaching needs at no cost, and which can be freely used by schools, students and parents. Such resources have been richly developed and widely adopted in many areas in Europe and North America over the past years.

The Open Textbooks for Hong Kong Project was initiated by the Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK) in 2012.  One of the main objectives is the development of a full set of English language textbooks for primary and secondary schools.  The new series, Open English is now complete and has been approved by the Education Bureau for inclusion in its Recommended Textbooks List. The books come with both electronic and printed versions. The electronic version is freely downloadable, while the printed version can be obtained at low cost. They are easily available to you and your children for learning in class and at home.

Hong Kong Education City (HKEdCity) cordially invites you to join the Launch of the Open Textbooks for Hong Kong to know more about the innovative English language textbooks and the eLearning Platforms at our booth. Details of the event are as follows:
