Introduction to Using Pressbooks

Wed March 5, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm GMT

Pressbooks is an online platform for creating books (and other book-like learning materials), including open educational resources (OER). It enables authors and publishers to design, format, and share their books in several ways, including in web-based and digital/ebook formats, or as print-ready PDFs. Pressbooks is used by independent authors and educational institutions around the world. In this hands-on webinar, you will learn how to use Pressbooks to create, build, and adapt online books and OER. We will cover the basics of structuring your book, adding and formatting content, and briefly look at some ways you can enhance your book with embedded media (like images, video, and interactive H5P activities).

If you do not already have a USask Pressbooks account, one will be provided for you, along with a “sandbox” book that you can explore during the session and continue building with later.
