Video Guides & Tutorials
Pressbooks is an easy-to-use publishing platform based on WordPress. Learn how to get started while getting a sneak preview of what the authoring interface looks like. Here, you will learn the basics of the Pressbooks, including how to add metadata and create, adapt, or customize a Pressbooks project. Depending on the nature of your project, you may want to create an entirely new book, clone or adapt existing books, import manuscripts or Word files, and make your content look great across e-readers.
For your convenience, we have embedded Pressbooks’ how-to-videos with timestamps and descriptions so that you can jump to the sections relevant to you.
Are you considering using an open textbook in your courses?
- If so, you may be interested in our OER Discipline Resource Guide: Concordia University Library—2nd edition, which will help you learn about available open textbooks, often in Pressbooks form.
- Learn about current and forthcoming open-textbook projects.
- You might also be interested in applying for an open textbook grant
- While straightforward projects are encouraged for open textbook grant projects, if you are planning to use HTML and CSS in your Concordia University Library Publishing Project, please contact us and inform us of your intention so that we can have a plan in place and map out all the intended changes/additions.
