Effective October 1, 2024 for Pressbooks:
- You will only be able to add existing, registered users of the eCampusOntario Pressbooks Network users to your books. Anyone you add to your books must first be registered to the eCampusOntario Pressbooks network. You will not be able to add new users to your books – they must be registered users of the eCampusOntario Pressbooks network.
- We will be deleting accounts of those users not affiliated with an eCampusOntario Member Institution (i.e., with a recognized email domain). This includes accounts created with a Gmail, Outlook, or non-member institution email address.
eCampusOntario provides access to tools to help facilitate the easy creation or adaptation of open educational resources. These tools are available at no cost to anyone currently affiliated with an eCampusOntario member institution. Members also have access to dedicated technical and OER creation support for these platforms.
