Join us this spring for a celebration of the incredibly versatile, easy-to-use, and impactful platform of Pressbooks. Pressbooks is a software that allows you to create Open Educational Resources (OER), including eBooks, handbooks, student work collections, portfolios, anthologies, and more.
This event will showcase a diverse range of projects from University of Iowa faculty and staff:
- Ted Neal, Teaching and Learning
- Giovanni Zimotti, Spanish and Portuguese
- Suzette Blanchard, Orientation Services
- Elizabeth Rodriguez, English
This will be followed with an interactive panel session for questions and discussion, followed by a presentation on the campus wide OpenHawks initiative and the importance of OER from Mahrya Burnett, scholarly communications librarian. The event will conclude with a hands-on collaboration session for anyone in attendance to create and begin sketching out their own Pressbooks site.
This is a hybrid event. Participants can attend in person in N150 of the Lindquist Center or via Zoom.
