Pressbooks is a free, open source book contents management system used by faculty around the world to publish and edit open (free) textbooks using a platform built on WordPress. In BC, this open authoring platform is maintained by BC Campus and all post secondary faculty and staff are eligible to sign up for an account. This account will allow you to access, edit and create new textbooks in Pressbooks or edit and adapt an existing textbook or resource to fit your students’ needs.

A Pressbook site can also be used to publish any type of educational resource that might be of service to your students and your field. Here is a catalogue of open course materials available free of charge in BC: B.C. Open Collection | BCcampus
