Hello Everyone,
You are receiving this email because you are either a key contact at your institution for
BCcampus Open Education, a member of our Pressbooks Advisory committee, or a member of the
BCOEL listserv.
Effective immediately, faculty and staff who use the BCcampus Pressbooks instance
(pressbooks.bccampus.ca) now have the option of activating three plugins:
1. [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/h5p-interactive-material/ | H5P ]
2. [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/hypothes-is/ | Hypothes.is ]
3. [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/quick-latex/ | Quick LaTeX ]
To learn more about these features, visit the [
https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/part/plugin-features/ | Plugin Features ] section of the
recently completed BCcampus OpenEd [ https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/ | Pressbooks Guide
] . Note that only the Administrators of books can activate plugins. (See [
https://opentextbc.ca/pressbooks/chapter/provide-access-to-others/ | Provide Access to
Others ] for details on permissions assigned to each user type in Pressbooks.)
Our team will more widely communicate the availability of these features in October at the
same time that we announce the next Pressbooks upgrade. In the meantime, if you are an
open education support contact for faculty and staff at your institution, we ask that you
take time to read about and test these plugins if you are unfamiliar with them.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Regards,
Lauri
