Abstract
This landscape survey utilised a desktop review approach combined with selective consultation with key partners, colleagues who were open education advocates, and practitioners, in order to produce a comprehensive list of open textbooks published at the University of Cape Town (UCT). The study reveals a minimum of 39 open textbooks were published by UCT authors in the period 2010–2021, and that there was uneven distribution of open textbook output across different faculties. As well, numerous (21 of 39) of UCT open textbooks were hosted on more than one platform, with OpenUCT and the UCT Libraries Continental Platform being the primary host environments.
