Hi all,
I’ve been asked to do a training for faculty in our School of Medicine. They are quite active on our Pressbooks network and have been using it to put together course materials that they use in conjunction with Canvas and other teaching tools. Thus far, the primary books that they’ve worked on they have made include lots of H5P activities, which students use to self-check their knowledge on a topic (at least that is my understanding thus far). The faculty have added password protection on most if not all of their Pressbooks, likely because of concerns about FERPA/HIPPA compliance, or copyright status of the images/videos included in the H5P activities.
I’m working with their instructional design team to develop some best practices and guidelines for the faculty on using Pressbooks for their courses, and am wondering if anyone has experience providing guidance on this - specifically the FERPA/HIPPA considerations piece. I’m hoping that my training will steer them towards considering OER and use of openly licensed resources in their works. I’d also be interested to hear if anyone has created Pressbooks guidelines for a specific department, and what that process looked like for you. Thanks in advance.
