FHSST (Free High School Science Texts) is a project that aims to provide free science and mathematics textbooks for Grades 10 to 12 science learners in South Africa.
I co-founded this project with Sam Halliday. Our intitial objective was to work with other graduate students at the University of Cape Town to collaboratively author the textbooks. Ultimately, the pool of volunteers was much larger and the first version of the books are available from the project website.
In the interests of openness we've written a how-to with all our learnings for you to download. It complements the great case study of FHSST completed by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME).
