Hello Everyone,
We have just published the date (July 11) for the next [ https://open.bccampus.ca/pressbooks-training-webinar/ | Pressbooks Training webinars ] .
This time, in addition to our Introduction session, we will also be offering an Intermediate 1 session focusing on how to import certain files into Pressbooks and exporting a variety of file types. 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/ ]

Good morning everyone,
I am delighted to announce the publication of our article that shows that Psychology students at KPU assigned open textbooks perform the same as or better than those assigned commercial textbooks (among other fascinating findings about their perceptions and usage). The study, which was co-authored by my fabulous colleagues in the Psychology department Farhad Dastur, Richard LeGrand, and Kurt Penner, was published today in the Canadian Journal of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Full text available at: https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol9/iss1/5
Cheers,
Rajiv
