AB  - Beyond Textbook (BT) is an Open Educational Resources (OER) platform that combines an e-textbook generation algorithm with a website interface. The frontend allows users to upload lecture notes. Then, given a list of topics, the backend matches each topic with the most relevant lecture notes, merges these lecture notes into one file, and finally generates a customized e-textbook for users to view and download. BT is developed to provide instructors and students with an e-textbook that is customized to specific requirements in a course. BT offers a zero-cost avenue to deliver and access curriculum content in a standardized, but collaborative and dynamic manner. The goal is to reduce the financial barrier to education, allow students to have access to up-to-date educational content, and leverage modern technology to improve pedagogy and learning. We proceeded with a trial run of BT involving both instructors and students in a first-year course and collected their feedback. Survey results identified that all participants found BT to be a useful educational tool and would use it upon its release.
