Community Contributions

Boundless engages the larger community by encouraging everyone to suggest improvements to our content and by allowing educators to publish their own content on our site.

Learning Objective

  • Characterize how Boundless engages the wider community


Key Points

    • Boundless users can give feedback to our existing content or make constructive edits to it. This ensures that our content is continuously being improved and kept up to date.
    • All community contributions to Boundless content are vetted by subject-matter experts to verify accuracy and pedagogical value.
    • Educators can also reach beyond their own classroom by adding their own content to Boundless' library of community-contributed books, leveraging our collaborative, transparent authoring platform, our LMS integrations, and our existing user base of millions of students and educators.

One of the things that makes Boundless such a unique educational resource is its support for community contributions. The two major forms of community contributions to Boundless are improvements (in the form of feedback and edits) and additions (in the form of community-contributed books).

Feedback on Boundless Content

Anyone using Boundless content, whether they are a student in a class using Boundless, an educator teaching with one of our textbooks, or someone browsing our pages for self-study purposes, can leave feedback and suggestions on, and even propose their own changes to, our content. These contributions can range from the correction of a small typo to a suggestion for a brand-new content module.

This community-contribution model ensures our content is constantly improving and always up to date—no more waiting for the next edition to be published before your book has the correct current U.S. President. And don't worry—all community contributions to Boundless content are checked for quality by the subject-matter experts at Boundless, so the only changes that go live on the site are genuinely constructive ones.

Community-Authored Books

Educators can also reach beyond their own classroom by adding their own content to Boundless' library of community-authored books, leveraging our collaborative, transparent authoring platform, our LMS integrations, and our existing user base of millions of students and educators. Professors who publish their own content on Boundless can now achieve literally global reach with the same resources they have already created and have been using in their classroom.

Books written by specialists in the community also allow Boundless to provide content in areas beyond our own 25 introductory-level subjects.
