Hello Everyone,
We have just published the date (April 16, 2018) for the next two [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | Pressbooks Training webinars ] . These sessions are open to all B.C. faculty and staff.
In addition to the Introduction session, we will also be offering: Intermediate 1: How to import and export files, and make textbook copies for open textbooks created or revised in Pressbooks. The intermediate session will include Pressbooks updates such as the new cloning feature.
For faculty and staff who do not have experience using Pressbooks, it is strongly recommended that they take the Introduction webinar before the Intermediate. These two webinars are conveniently scheduled so they can be taken on the same day.
For more information and to register, please see: [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ ]

Hello friends,
I am facilitating a Faculty Learning Community on OEP this semester at KPU. Our group of 10 (drawn from 9 departments and 4 Faculties) comes together every 3 weeks on a Friday afternoon (we had our first meeting last week). In the spirit of openness I am sharing our readings and activities publicly (along with links to resources that we explore and some notes from our discussion). See: http://thatpsychprof.com/oep-flc/ I hope this is useful to you.
Cheers,
Rajiv
