Empowering Course Design with Open Educational Resources (OER) in Learning Management Systems (LMS)
2025-03-05 13:30 - 13:42 (America/Toronto) | University of Windsor, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Ontario, Canada
Presented by Shahram Fardadvand.
The integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) with Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle and Canvas is redefining course design by enabling educators to create accessible, flexible, and dynamic learning experiences. This session explores how Pressbooks, an open-source publishing platform, improves LMS capabilities by simplifying the integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into well-structured course designs. Pressbooks offers powerful export options for designing courses that combine chapters and materials from diverse OER sources. Educators can remix, adapt, and integrate content into unified course modules while retaining the interactivity and accessibility essential for today’s learners.
This presentation demonstrates how Pressbooks empowers educators to build flexible courses tailored to their curriculum by embedding resources directly within LMS platforms. Educators can improve teaching by using Pressbooks’ easy integration. This integration helps deliver content better and engages learners more. Examples of successful course designs will show how combining material from different Open Educational Resources (OER) improves teaching and learning.
Participants will learn to utilize Pressbooks and the LMS to create interactive, accessible, modular courses. This method provides equitable access to quality education and enables educators to tailor learning for diverse audiences.

Introduction to Using Pressbooks
2025-03-05 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Regina) | University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
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.
