Macmillan announced a new kind of textbook called DynamicBooks: a remixable electronic textbook that will give professors the ability “to reorganize or delete chapters; upload course syllabuses, notes, videos, pictures and graphs; and perhaps most notably, rewrite or delete individual paragraphs, equations or illustrations.” Essentially, Macmillan provides the core text, and then professors get to customize the book to their liking.

According to Macmillan, this will cut the price of new textbooks.
