This survey seeks information in four areas: 1) you and your teaching, 2) your students and course, 3) the Psychology textbook, and 4) opportunities to contribute to this book. Your answers will help us develop a second edition Psychology textbook for OpenStax, a non-profit organization that helps students gain access to high-quality learning materials. The textbook will be available at no cost in its online or downloaded formats, or for a minimal cost in a 4-color professionally printed, bound version.
