About

Pressbooks is simple, free book production software. VCU faculty and staff are invited to explore adopting, adapting, and publishing Open Educational Resources (OER) with Pressbooks.

Pressbooks is a WordPress-based online platform for self-publishing digital books. Pressbooks can be used to create monographs, open textbooks, or other open educational resources, either by adapting existing resources or starting a new project from scratch. Pressbooks supports embedded video, audio, accessible math notation, and H5P to include interactive learning activities and quizzes. 

Content developed in Pressbooks is always online (and mobile-ready) and can be exported for print or reading on a number of devices. Pressbooks make creating and sharing OER books with your students and colleagues easy.
