This event is a part of the OER Production Series. Now rescheduled to Friday, May 26, 2023.

Pressbooks is an online self-publishing tool available to all post-secondary faculty and staff in B.C. and the Yukon.

How to create complex content, like interactive H5P activities and math equations
How to customize the display of things like text, tables, textboxes
How to make your Pressbook easier to navigate
How to fill out metadata fields
What to consider with the different export formats (webbook, PDF, and ePub)
A tour of some existing OER created in Pressbooks to explore the range of ways people have used Pressbooks.
