Quarter Report - May 2025

Exciting News from WisTech Open!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new website at www.wistechopen.org, designed to better showcase our free, high-quality open educational resources.

In addition, WisTech Fusion, our dynamic digital learning experience hub, is currently in testing and available for preview at wistechopen.org/wistech-fusion.

We're also excited to celebrate the release of our first digital audiobook, Innovative Business Mindset, with more titles in production. Several print versions of our textbooks have also been released to support broader accessibility.

Looking ahead, projects for the upcoming biennium have been selected and will be officially announced soon, pending continued state funding. In addition, the ADAPT homework platform and Casegen RN tool will remain available free of charge to WTCS colleges and nursing programs through June 30, 2025. After that date, institutional agreements will be required to maintain access through LibreTexts (for ADAPT) and Codaptive Labs (for Casegen RN).

About WisTech Open

WisTech Open was born from a simple idea: learning should be free and accessible to all. Building on the success of Open RN—an award-winning initiative launched in 2019 to create free nursing textbooks—WisTech Open became a statewide movement in 2023. Fueled by student advocacy and educator collaboration, we now support Wisconsin’s technical colleges in developing open educational resources across a wide range of programs. Our mission is to make learning more affordable, accessible, and innovative for every student.
