Are you looking for an easier way to manage your student handbook, reports, or other publicly shared documentation in an accessible format? Have you ever been frustrated with your textbook or lab manual options and thought “I could do better than this!”? Would you like your students to co-author a book on your course topics or create sharable review materials?
Pressbooks is a customizable, collaborative online publishing tool that anyone at IU can use to author and share
- Textbooks,
- Lab manuals,
- Reports,
- Student handbooks, and
- Student work
Pressbooks is built on WordPress, a popular blogging tool, that allows you to not only write text, but embed images, videos, complex tables, mathematical notation, documents, and glossary terms. It was developed to be accessible for readers, avoiding many of the pitfalls of PDFs and Word documents. You can also control the visibility of everything in your book and the roles of any collaborators.
Join us for a demo of Pressbook features and learn about some of the ways your colleagues are using it here at IU!
