Registration Deadline: Jun 9, 2025 05:00 PM
Openly licensed books and other resources-also known as Open Educational Resources (OER)--are freely available online under a license that allows reuse, revision, and redistribution. In addition to cost savings for students, creating or using openly licensed materials in lieu of commercial textbooks in your course can reap other benefits, including the ability to update or revise the materials as needed.
This workshop will help you understand what Presssbooks is and how it works, find out the basics of open licensing, get to know the Alberta Open Education Pressbooks program, know where to find openly licensed books you can use or adapt, try out editing an existing OER on the Pressbooks platform, and understand where to get help in creating your own openly licensed work.
The workshop outline is available here.
