Are you interested in publishing or adapting an open textbook for your course? Attend this one-hour workshop to learn about the University of Oregon Libraries’ pilot of an open textbook publishing platform, Pressbooks. Pressbooks allows faculty to easily create and publish accessible web books and format them into many different readable formats (PDF, ePUB & Web version). With Pressbooks, faculty can adapt, revise and append to openly licensed textbooks, courseware and academic content. 

Participants will leave this workshop with a basic understanding of what you can make with Pressbooks and the ability to start creating materials using Pressbooks.  This workshop will be held virtually via Zoom and pre-registration is required.
