We will discuss WordPress and Pressbooks, the two most often used content management systems (CMS) for those interested in creating blogs, websites, and, most importantly, textbooks. We will look at the process that led to the creation of the most used mineralogy book in the world \u2013 a book that saw 1 million users last year \u2013 and discuss the many ways that online OER textbooks are superior to traditional print books. By the end of the session, all participants will know how easy it is to publish top-notch books on the internet, and they will have the tools to get started immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> January 28, 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 2:30-3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In-Person Location:<\/strong> AE2S Conference Room<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/l\/meetup-join\/19%3ameeting_NjA5MDA3N2QtMmQ2NS00ODc5LWE5OTYtN2YxOGMxYWE1YWQ1%40thread.v2\/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22ec37a091-b9a6-47e5-98d0-903d4a419203%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%2233e48c16-01f7-45bc-b2a3-f5ad7042d033%22%7d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hosted virtually on Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Meeting ID:<\/strong> 265 472 959 872<\/li>\n<li><strong>Passcode:<\/strong> ox2EP62M<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this session, participants will look at the many aspects and benefits of OERs, and then focus on the modern trend of online textbook publishing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":6044,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[887],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-upcoming-events"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Presented by the CEM Teaching Council \u2014 Textbooks of the Future: OERs and Online Textbook Publishing - College of Engineering &amp;
