Creating on your own

Creating original content can be a big task, but it is also a great way to offer content to your students.  Just know that it is something that may take a while, although if you create in Pressbooks, you can start small with just a few sections, edit to update and add new content, and re-publish the additional new content over time. This is one of the great benefits of using a platform like Pressbooks.

Creating with colleagues

Creating new content may be especially served by collaborative work, and the Pressbooks platform makes it possible to collaborate right in the application itself.  See Pressbooks User Guide for more on how to add and work with collaborators.

Creating with students or having students create

Collaborating with students on Pressbooks content or having students create content themselves is a great example of open pedagogy.  The campus library has some good resources and examples of open pedagogy to consider, and the PressbooksEDU and OpenWA catalogues do as well (see the chapter on cataloguing for how to find these catalogues).
