dc.description.abstractTim Low’s Digital Open Textbooks for Development (DOT4D) grant enabled him to start translating the first-year IntroStat textbook from English into isiXhosa. As a senior lecturer at University of Cape Town, Tim advocates for greater inclusivity, localisation and multilingualism in the teaching of statistics at UCT. Enthusiasm for the project was sustained during 2019. However, activity during the normal academic term was not sustainable in 2020 with the COVID-19 pandemic adding to unpredictability. Two chapters were translated into isiXhosa and licensed in line with the ShareAlike principle. As the original English resource carries an open licence, no copyright issues were encountered.en
