@JCurtis, glad to share that I trained 30+ Faculty Members from 10 Malaysian Universities on Developing Inclusive Open Textbooks (iOTB) Using Pressbooks from November 1 to 3, 2023. With the support of Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) organized a 3-day workshop in line with the Malaysia National Inclusive Open Educational Resources Policy (iOER). Participants explored Pressbooks platform and its built-in accessibility, collaboration, (H5P) interactivity features. They designed and developed their open textbooks front matter, back matter (with a glossary) and chapters with inclusive and interactive content, including openers, pedagogical elements and closers etc.
