Exploring the Creative Process in Composing A Post-secondary Textbook (the Tenth `Five-year Plan''''): A Case of Soil Science

In order to develop a national state-of-the-art post-secondary educational textbook (the tenth `five year' plan) of Soil Science, we first define our target audience's major, the market needs, and the contents of the textbook. We then focus our attention on innovative teaching systems, methods and means to define the information we include. We manage to meld together traditional and contemporary knowledge that is comprehensive and extensive, but present in a straightforward way easy to understand. By imparting knowledge and technical training in a theoretical and practical way, we are able to create a textbook that facilitates both teaching and learning. Following the steps described above, we are able to create an advanced, systematic and unique textbook, which is published as well as posted online.
