Apps for working in Pressbooks

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right channel to post this!

Our students in the OER Design Studio at Fanshawe College have created several utility programs to help develop OER in Pressbooks. These programs have saved us a lot of time, and I hope you will find them valuable, too. Please reach out if you encounter any issues or have any ideas for improvement. Our email is oer@fanshawec.ca

These programs are shared via our APP HUB and our GitHub page.

We have the following programs:

  • Broken Link Checker
  • Attribution Builder that works with Pressbooks, Youtube and OpenStax
  • PDF LaTex Fixer
  • Accordion Builder
  • Reference formatter
  • Box Builder
  • HTML scubber to remove random code
  • Alt text advisor decision tree
  • H5P alternative text builder.
