Pressbooks

Pressbooks is an online platform that enables the creation, design, and publication of books. At KPU we use Pressbooks to publish Open Educational Resources (OER).

Overview

Pressbooks allows for instructors and learners to be equipped with tools to create, adapt and share content. The open-source content management system (based on WordPress) makes creating open educational resources (digital textbooks) easily and for free. Open Educational Resources are any type of resources that have been designed for use in teaching and learning and that are (1) freely available and (2) published with an open license that enables users to reuse, revise, remix, retain, and redistribute content.

Considerations

Work in progress.
