Curious to learn strategies for the discovery and use of open resources others have created? Could your students benefit from more interactivity in their course resources?
Take current course resources from flat to fabulous! In the first half, we’ll showcase Pressbooks, Ontario’s easy-to-use online book and document formatting system for adapting and creating open educational resources that are accessible on all platforms: in print and digital, including all smartphones, tablets, e-reader devices, and computers. Explore the features that amp up engagement, empower you as an educator, and save students costs on course materials. Stay and play in Pressbooks for the second half of the session.
Refreshments will be provided.
Registration is required. Please bring your own computer.
Facilitator: Peggy French, Curriculum Development Consultant, Centre for Teaching & Learning, Mohawk College of Applied Arts & Technology
