This presentation will discuss undergraduate student experiences with the creation of an online textbook through the lens of social constructivism and the connected learning framework. To do this, a comparison was made to the previous experiences of students with online content creation tools to their experiences using them during a course. It also includes information about student perceptions of their creativity and collaboration. Surveys and reflections are examined to determine the level of student perceived creativity and collaboration that took place over the course of the semester and how that impacted engagement in the course
