The Open Stax to Pressbooks tool is now working!

 

Our team downloaded the .xml file using the tool and imported it into Pressbooks into this test book, which you can clone: https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/anatomyphysiologytest/

Please note that the tool does not import images into the media library; these must be done separately.

Reach out if you have any questions.

Hi Heather,

 

I'm not aware of a Pressbooks version of this title, but you may be able to make the conversion yourself using this tool: OpenStax to Pressbooks XML

 

Take care,

Dan

Hello all,

 

There's a Kinesiology professor here who teaches exercise physiology and has been using the OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology for a couple of her courses. There's a new OER on exercise physiology. Neither of them meets her needs on their own, so she wants to do an adaptation combining the two. Does anyone know of a Pressbooks version of either the OpenStax book or another general physiology book she can use?

 

Thank you.
