Pressbooks 101: Getting Started and Gaining Momentum with OER
Summer 2021
More Details
A basic overview of the WordPress Content Management System (CMS) including how to create an open educational resource (OER), add users and set up their access level, design a site map for easy team-based authoring, and create H5P interactive content. This workshop is ideal for faculty who received a grant to adapt, adopt, or create an OER to pilot in Fall 2021. We'll have a short presentation followed by an interactive workshop time to build OER materials and troubleshoot together.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
