Pressbooks is an open educational resource authoring platform for simple book publishing. It has several uses in courses: from creating original OER, remixing existing OER, and even working with students to create a collaborative book as a class project that can be used as a renewable assignment. Pressbooks can also be used to openly license and share findings for grant-funded projects. Upon completion of the Pressbooks Basic workshop, attendees can create a new book, clone an existing book, remix chapters from various Creative Commons licensed books, add media and other content to a book, and export a book in a wide range of formats.
