Open Educational Resources (OERs)

Open Education Alberta is a collaborative, no-fee publishing service for open textbooks and other open educational resources.

It allows educators from the University of Calgary to host OERs on a Pressbooks instance hosted by the University of Alberta Library.

Pressbooks is a simple publishing software for the authoring and publication of multimedia-rich print books, ebooks, and webbooks. The published books are shareable in multiple formats including pdf, epub, and mobi and can easily be adapted and updated using the Pressbooks software.

Members of the University of Calgary community who are interested in obtaining a Pressbooks account should complete the form below. You will then be contacted by a member of the Library team who will outline the features of the software and your responsibilities as a user. All users must sign and agree to the terms of the publishing agreement below before an account will be issued.
