Pressbooks

Pressbooks is open-source software for reading and interactive learning. It provides an 508 compliant reading and interactive learning environment with an authoring and multi-format publishing platform. Here, faculty and students can adapt, create, and publicly share their original works or remixed Creative-Commons’ licensed works with the world. 

Sharing your original work under a Creative Commons license is a wonderful way to leverage your retained copyrights or copyrights you have gotten back from a publisher.

Pressbooks is a great way to publish and share open educational resources to reduce the cost of student learning by leveraging the power of open licenses.
