CK-12 Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in January 2007, aims to reduce the cost of textbook materials for the K-12 market both in the US and worldwide. Using a collaborative and web-based compilation model that can be manifested as an adaptive textbook – termed the “FlexBook” – CK-12 intends to pioneer the creation and distribution of high quality educational web texts both as traditional print and online medium. At the same time, CK-12 hopes to use the leverage that open source models, like Linux software and Wikipedia encyclopedia, have used to continually improve regionally and temporally relevant content.
