Pressbooks in Higher Education
“Pressbooks has become the standard. Open source software makes a huge difference philosophically.”
Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani, Kwantlen Polytechnic University
“We have seen measurable increase in student savings, open pedagogy and open research practices since we have implemented Pressbooks. It is a delight to be able to answer faculty questions regarding accessibility, customizability, and collaboration as part of the PressbooksEdu community. A common response is ‘I can really do all that?’ as they explore ways to use Pressbooks to increase their connection with students and improve their students’ learning experience. I enjoy being able to say yes. Yes, my friend, you can.”
Kathy Essmiller, Oklahoma State University
