I'm delighted to read UniSQ Library's 2022 version of Library Stories.
This report published on the #PressBooks platform uses staff and student reflections to demonstrate how the Library's services, programs, and outcomes align with #UN #SDGs.

Congratulations to @cosulliv @EmiliaCaraBell and the Library team.

Handout: Open Educational Resources & Open Pedagogy https://bit.ly/oer2023
Links to resources on the basics of finding, using, and authoring #OER resources, textbooks, etc., including info on student-generated resources (#OpenPedagogy).
I'll add a 2nd page to the handout in the coming weeks w/resources on #H5P & #Pressbooks in preparation for a workshop.

Loving the new-look catalogue in Pressbooks. Big improvement on the previous version. It's been available for a few weeks but am just catching up with it!

Turns out getting #Pressbooks running on @digitalocean's 1-Click App #WordPress install is pretty easy with @reclaimhosting @taylorjadin help https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=v6FhHbTKb5I

Getting ready to launch a #pressbooks #OER initiative at my small university. Our pressbooks site is configured, and I'm ready to roll this out to faculty, but I'm unsure of the best way to engage them. Would love to hear what others have done and are doing.

Faculty are so busy this time of year, and yet I feel they should have access to the tool in the lead up to the Spring semester, in case they want to clone a text they're already using. @libraries

I'm looking for a #hosting/#VPS solution to run up a #Pressbooks instance and came across x10 hosting. It isn't going to work for Pressbooks, but #free (no creditcard) one-click #Wordpress, #Moodle, #Mahara installs seems promising https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=sKqjRz9zoog
