We’ve developed a number of (CC-BY licensed) slide decks that we’ve used to present about Pressbooks to various audiences. This thread will share links to them in case they’re of interest/use to any of you. If you’d like to make a local remix/adaptation, you can ‘make a copy’ and edit to your hearts’ content. Please also feel free to share any of your own materials/adaptations here with others.

Gave a presentation on The Library as Publisher for WiLSWorld in July 2019. Slides are kind of a mashup of two previous presentations, but still might be of interest.

I was invited to speak to a group of instructional designers at the Distance Teaching & Learning Conference in Madison last week. Slides will be generally familiar, but some new content with that specific audience in mind: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13xTB4JwWb-05gGjZ-DBBVf_jbwIhQJ6LwRUr0oUmg-8/edit#slide=id.g579888354f_0_1542

Hi all, Next week I will be doing a 1.5 hour “Advanced Pressbooks” workshop for instructors at my institution. I’m pretty well practiced at doing my standard Intro to Pressbooks workshop at this point, but am wondering if anyone has activities or exercises that you do when training people on Hypothesis, H5P, Cloning, or best practices for Attribution (the main topics I’m planning on covering). I know how to speak to all of these things at at least a basic level, but if others have ways in which they’ve taught these topics, or slides they could share, that would be great! Thanks!

During Open Education Week, we held a webinar on language diversity in open education, and featured a few presenters who have recently helped to create OER at their institution with the help of Pressbooks’ language tools.
If you’d like to hear about these projects, or want to know more about how to use Pressbooks’ language tools for your own projects, check out the recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z5PiPhOB18
