Versioning History

Use this page to track changes to your text over time and provide an opportunity for readers to give feedback.

A challenge of open education resources is tracking versions. As open textbooks are open for adaption, changes are made gradually over time. Use the chart below to track when changes are made so that people can properly cite which version of the text they were using. Track substantial changes by adding 0.1 on the end of the version number, and transformative changes by adding 1.0 to the version number (resetting the decimal number to .0).

Solicit feedback about your text by including contact information, or develop a survey form using Microsoft Forms and link to it or embed it into the chapter using an H5P iFrame.

Optional: If you want to provide readers access to the older versions of the text, before you make changes export and download a PDF copy. You can provide links to download those versions on this page.

We are always seeking to improve our open textbooks. Please submit your suggestions, recommendations, and/or corrections at [URL].

This page lists major changes to this book with major changes marked with a 1.0 increase in the version number and minor changes marked with a 0.1 increase.
