For Help Along the Way
While this Quick Guide is only intended to start you up, the Pressbooks User Guide will walk you through everything you can do with Pressbooks. Here you will find answers for common questions, as well as help for more advanced ones.
The Guide has been written to help Lane Community College faculty understand how to best use and integrate Pressbooks with Lane’s LMS Moodle system.
For production and design questions, contact Lane OER (WrightM@lanecc.edu.). For questions about webbook integration with Moodle, contact Josh Manders at Lane ATC (mandersj@lanecc.edu). Zoom meetings can be scheduled for training or assistance.
Have a Lane Production Coordinator Design Your Textbook!
If you only wish to be the content expert/author of your book and do not have interest in designing it yourself, you can have a Lane OER Production Coordinator create your textbook for you.
Contact Meggie Wright to be added to our production queue, and you can submit your content to our team for layout, design, and production.
